Today, they are also well represented in political and professional circles. Indian festivals here are colourful, upbeat affairs. Deepavali, or the Festival of Lights, is the main Indian festival, while Thaipusam, where devotees pierce themselves in an act of cleansing, is a fascinating spectacle. The small but influential Eurasian community in Singapore encapsulates the East meets West vibe of the country. This ethnic group is made up of people who have mixed European and Asian lineage and have been present in Singapore since the early 19 th -century.
Most Eurasians in Singapore can trace the European part of their ancestry to the Portuguese, Dutch or British, while their Asian ancestry can be traced to the Chinese, Malays or Indians. The first Eurasians arrived a few years after the British founded Singapore in , and hailed mainly from Penang and Malacca.
During the colonial period, many Eurasians were employed as clerks in the civil service, European banks as well as commercial and trading houses. The women worked mainly as teachers and nurses. English is the first language of Eurasians, although some from the older generation who are of Portuguese descent speak a version of the Portugese language known as Kristang.
The Peranakan Chinese, or Straits Chinese, in Singapore can trace their origins to 15 th -century Malacca, where their ancestors were Chinese traders who married local Malay women. There are also Chitty Melaka, or Peranakan Indians, descendants of marriages between South Indian Hindu merchants and local women, and Jawi Peranakans, who trace their ancestry to intermarriage between South Indian-Muslim traders and women of the local community.
Many of the early Peranakans were traders and shopkeepers, while others were involved in the real estate, shipping and banking sectors. While many of the Straits Chinese have assimilated into the broader Chinese community, they still retain distinctive cultural traits—most notably in their food and traditional dress.
The spicy Malay-influenced taste of Peranakan food is probably the most commonly encountered aspect of this ethnic group. Nonya food, named after the ladies who cook it, features strong Malay and Indonesian influences with its uses of spices and coconut milk.
