| Abstract |
The Javanese way of decorating textiles using batik techniques was popular among the Peranakan in the Malay Archipelago, largely because the range of batiks produced by the Javanese Peranakan incorporated Chinese aesthetics. A whole new range of batik, known as Batik Peranakan or Batik Cina (Chinese Batik) was produced for a largely Peranakan Chinese market, including the Straits Chinese in the former British Straits Settlements. This paper examines the Peranakan Chinese aesthetic values that are revealed in these batiks, focusing on three different aspects – motifs, colour schemes and applications. Examination of the batik sarongs worn by the Straits Chinese women, or Nyonyas, however, shows different criteria in relation to these three aspects. The differences in aesthetic values made the batik sarongs used by the Nyonyas in the former Straits unique, and showcased their distinct identity. |

| Description |
On 4 December 1897, a major English press in Singapore ran a story headlined ‘Extraordinary Incident at Amoy.’ A Singapore-born Chinese trader named Khun Yiong was imprisoned by the provincial authority in Amoy (Xiamen) in China after a German firm charged him for reportedly defaulting on a payment. Reporting him to the Chinese authority, the Germans managed to get Khun Yiong arrested. Claiming to be a British subject, Khun Yiong sought British protection and immunity from Chinese law, but his request was denied. Khun Yiong’s case ignited an intense public discussion in Singapore over the troubled legal status of the Straits Chinese British subject. |
