Love his time during the PCK series. Rly enjoy that series a lot. Had lots of endless of laughter

[@mummyonglt]

He act very well and now he also speak good mandrian. I love this handsome guy .

[@ongscarlette9216]

I love him too.. Agree what you say.. I support him too

[@savante76]

It's time we also realized that the Peranakan Malay is absolutely beautiful too!

[@tintintin534]

He still looks young and good

[@henrylee2393]

Heh. The definition of Peranakan is wrong. There are Indian Peranakans (Chitty), Eurasian Peranakans (Kristang), Chinese Peranakans (Baba-Nyonyas), and Arab Peranakans (Jawi Pekans). You quoted that “Peranakans are the descendants of Chinese immigrants....” That’s a fundamental error in definition. Someone can be Peranakan but not Baba-Nyonya.

[@dellaa3749]

Hey Henry, that was really insightful! Thank you for sharing!

[@henrylee2393]

Please go and update the video, the content, and your definitions too.

[@Ragingwire1]

But it is generally accepted that peranakan term mean peranakan Tionghwa since they form the largest group of peranakan. so I don't think she is wrong peranakan Portuguese is kristang

[@henrylee2393]

Ragingwire High Peranakan Chinese form the larger group but it does not mean it represents all Peranakans, to the extent that they define ‘Peranakans are Chinese immigrants....’. It is like saying ‘Singaporeans are Chinese immigrants who....’ or ‘Americans are white people who....’. The Kristangs also had mixed culture and race from the Dutch, British, and India during to different eras of colonialism in Melaka. Hence it is more inclusive to call them Eurasian Peranakans, while acknowledging the primary Portuguese origin that differentiates them.

Why are you guys so stressed up about not being able to speak Mandarin well. Why.... Your English is so eloquent. No need la..to speak Mandarin. The Power of the English language is Universal and Mandarin is not. So chill okay 💕 Be proud to be Peranakan. Cakap Bahasa Melayu la, we are surrounded by our Malay neighbours North South East. West.

[@hikari443]

He is so good looking and kind 😊

[@chenab427]

I still CANT accept that HE didnt marry JUXIANG in LITTLE NYONYA!!!! He remained two things; handsome-ness and being my crush!!!

[@fazhanshariff9853]

In the past i have so many Peranakans Baba & Nyonyas friend. There nothing to be ashamed if you cannot speak Mandarin all i know Perankans Baba & Nyonyas they speak Bahasa Melayu among their family and they listen to dongdang song. They even know the pantun and they even proud with the kebaya nyonya... they look chinese but they're not 100% or pure chinese.. it is a reality.... sadly now the Peranakans are dying off...

[@babysherl493]

No one in my mom's side speaks fluent Mandarin lol!! We're Peranakan Chinese. I try and learn it though. My Grandma had 6 sisters and 6 brothers and she was the most rebellious one out of them all hahaha. She loved to alter her Kebayas! She was named the Belle of where she lived.

[@Dan-kh3fg]

Let me teach you if you want to learn.

[@babysherl493]

I saw Pierre and his wife at my Church 🥰 so true my friends say mine doesn’t sound like Mandarin 😂 ever since I moved to Serangoon from Bukit Timah everyone mostly spoke it. The funny thing is my Grandpa had tight curls on his head and he’s Chinese

[@kittybooboo7215]

Does Peranakan share the same term with Mestizo in the Philippines, being mixed heritages?

[@Ragingwire1]

Not really They don't consider themselves to be Malay or fully Chinese But they have their own way of life and culture though still retain most of Chinese value and ritual,custom except language. We don't get lost in majority

[@tenangfokus6832]

Cina Peranakan, moyang Mereka yang telah datang ke Melaka selepas Puteri Hang Li Po mengahwini Sultan Melaka. Mereka pandai membawa diri di tempat baru, menghormati orang Melayu, Mereka berkahwin dengan orang Melayu. Mereka berbudaya Melayu. Jiwa Mereka Dan pemikiran Mereka di ubah kepada kemelayuan apabila Mereka tinggal di Melaka. Mereka tidak membawa kecinaan Mereka apabila Mereka di Tanah Melayu. Itulah penyebab moyang Mereka boleh hidup aman Damai Dan harmonis dengan orang Melayu di Tanah Melayu. Itulah penyebab orang Melayu menerima Mereka dengan baik Dan tidak ada timbul masaalah perkauman walaupun Mereka telah tinggal beratus tahun dengan orang Melayu. Mereka diterima dengan baik sebab Mereka tidak mendatangkan masaalah kepada orang Melayu.

[@thatboy27506]

Cina Peranakan ni considered sebagai Bumiputra ke tk?

[@FlamingPlaysGames]

I find him really relatable omg! Especially that mandarin part

[@user-og2yx3sf6m]

And the 'why your mandarin so bad' part. my dad never shared the magic answer-only now I'm learning lol, will try it

[@soulibal]

Correction, baba nyonya does not only exist in Singapore and Malaysia ah, but even the biggest Peranakan country is Indonesia....even its fully integrated in Indonesia.

[@henrylee2393]

Ken Arok They are not wrong. The video mentioned these “immigrants who came to the Malay Archipelago”. Indonesia is part of Malay Archipalego. The author is just stating that in Malaysia and Singapore, the Chinese Peranakans are referred to as Baba-Nyonya. This is a matter of fact. In Indonesia, the Chinese Peranakans, in Tangerang (for example), are called Tiong Benteng/ Cina Benteng. Not Baba-Nyonya. The grave error the author made was to claim all Peranakans are chinese, and erasing all other races. It is like saying ‘Singaporeans are descendants of Chinese immigrants’. I’m still awaiting them to make correction to the video.

[@Ragingwire1]

That is incorrect Cina benteng is set apart from majority of peranakan . They are almost fully assimilated and poor though proud of their heritage.They are the oldest since their forefather come around 18th century. But the majority of peranakan in Indo come from people who immigrate in 19th century. And they called themselves Baba and Nyonya for sure Just like Baba in Malaysia they called each other by their nick name like Nya Cambul or Nya Gemok. for men Ba besar etc So the term Baba and Nyonya is used

[@henrylee2393]

Ragingwire High Hence I mentioned that “in Tangerang (for example), the Chinese Peranakans...”. The statement was exclusively for the Tangerang Chinese Peranakan community. I was not referring to the whole Indonesia. My main point is that the author is not wrong in her definition regarding their settlement in Malay Archipalego. Malay Archipalego includes modern day indonesia.

[@lisamysara4566]

@@henrylee2393 Indonesian people like to claim everything..

[@Ragingwire1]

@@lisamysara4566 Well in this case he is right Peranakan is the majority Chinese in java. Last census done in 80's the number is around 4 million By now it is around 7 million But many are wary to put down their ethnicity as peranakan That is why the latest census only record 3 million

[@babysherl493]

Oh god the number of times I had to explain to people why I can’t speak Mandarin well…..they always ask me if I’m mixed blood too cause I don’t look fully “Chinese”

[@arin7981]

He's very handsome ❤️❤️

[@fazhanshariff9853]

To be frankly speak nothing be ashamed.. Baba & Nyonya are not purely chinese they're decendant of Chinese mix Malay.... are u need to worry the baba & nyonya peranakans are dying off today... well how many Baba & Nyonya today still in Kebaya, still able to speak Bahasa melayu, still can pantun? It is all become extint in this generation.....

[@share_accidental]

i remember him from the little nyonya! i never knew he was peranakan 😅

[@JoanKSX]

Hehe actually suspicious already he's not fully Chinese then comes about documentary interview I'm like 'Oh... no wonder his Mandarin sounds like half tongue cut away sounding...' fully understand why he speaks that way LOL

[@babysherl493]

@@JoanKSX My Mandarin is exactly like this and my mom's family is Peranakan Chinese lol. It sucks because people always say you're Chinese right how come your Mandarin isn't fluent??

[@JoanKSX]

@@babysherl493 Actually it's okay. Everyone is different though. Last time my classmate he is a Chinese, whole family Chinese, and he is a person no religion (I think his whole family is almost the same), but his Mandarin speaking sounds like Wang Leehom, like an American-Born-Chinese XD And I remember every subject he absolutely scored them like more than 90 marks out of 100, except Mandarin, he always failed (less than the passing marks 60)... until one time he finally got more than 60 marks he was like bloody hell happy with his new achievement =D Happy for him too But I can remember very well our English teacher would purposely bring a thick Oxford dictionary to check upon the English vocabularies that he used in his essays! After that only we learnt that his father is actually an English professor working in University Sains Malaysia (damn o.O) He read original version of Harry Potter novels which basically every book series is thick as a contemporary Oxford dictionary... and his essay, I couldn't understand one third of his first page... holy brainy guy

My whole family speak Malay and dialect more than mandarin my whole family skin tone look Malay more but all I pure Chinese my grandma,mum are mixed look more like erausian especially my grandma alot of ppl thought I'm Malaysia pr or peranakan or keep asking me am I ??

[@babysherl493]

One of my great great grandmas had kinda like African afro hair! My grandpa also has tight curls and he's Peranakan Chinese. It's not the Asian type of curl too, it's strong curls. The kind of curls you see on perms for guys. like wtfff

I like Jade

[@ongscarlette9216]

Same as my 2kids and me only understand English most than Chinese

[@JoanKSX]

Hehe though I talk more Mandarin than English, still an almost full time Mandarin speaker I found Mandarin is still so hard especially learning Maths and Sciences. English is much easier in Maths and Science. Those creepy Mandarin specialized terms in Maths and Sciences are giving me headache. Though my family isn't consider as Baba Nyonya but my paternal grandma is a Nyonya, somehow I believe is Chinese-Siamese Nyonya, not really into Malay but she cooks perfect Nyonya food.

[@cwcheng13]

did she know zap zeng has a very bad meaning?

Whats the meaning of zap zeng?

Wtf is zap zeng?

She's calling herself a bastard

[@user-xz3ny1or6o]

Zap zheng means bastarize with many guys . A derogatory word of telling the person is not a pure chinese.

[@JoanKSX]

zap zeng is 杂种, usually mean 'child that born outside marriage' or just 'bastard'.

After so many years still with this excuse " baba ", i really salute him being thicked skin and bluff his through for so long without putting any efforts, any way this is one of the many lousy actors in Tcs, and i have given up hope on the Tcs drama....

[@newbsterland]

onglielie lol ur post gan ppl end up ppl so many years millionaire u so many years english still shit. There’s a difference between grammatical errors, vocabulary inadequacies. Wtf is ‘thicked skin’? Please don’t say typo lol typo is when you miss a letter, you turned a figurative descriptive into a tense mistake

[@flyingzone356]

(1) "Effort" - plural is "effort", not "efforts"; (2) "anyway" is one word, not two; (3) "thicked skin" is an expression that doesn't exist; (4) you should always capitalize "i", it's "I"; (5) You salute someone FOR being something; (6) After so many years still with this "baba excuse," not "excuse baba;" (7) acting skill "sucks," not "sulk"; (8) self-declared (must be hyphenated) perfectionist; (9) "Wah!" is not English, it should be "wow"; (10) He has been in Channel 8 FOR so many years, still talkS like "sotong"; (11) and HE IS STILL SPEAKING Mandarin like a student GASPING (not grasping) for words. You have just written a few sentences, yet in every sentence, there are at least 800 grammatical mistakes. How many years have you been learning English? After so many years, you are still writing English like an illiterate. I really salute you for being so thick skin!

[@onglielie]

wah ! self declared perfectionist ! he has been in channel 8 so many years, still talk like sotong, acting skill sulk, dont understand why he has been in channel 8 for so long, and his mandarin speaking like a student grasping for words, if u dont like the environment, just leave !

[@ongscarlette9216]

I don't agree.. Pierre png is a perenkan a baba and study english at home are whole family spoken same go outside just because act in Chinese drama then started learning Chinese starting speaking or understanding.. He started speak Chinese learn Chinese is because of work he now can speak basic Chinese is good already

Another point for you to ponder......WHY THE GREAT RIDICULE IF SOMEONE SPEAK LITTLE MANDARIN.....WHO ARE YOU TO ACCUSE AND RIDICULE A PERSON IF HE OR SHE NOT PROFICIENT IN SPEAKING MANDARIN ❓❓ ARE YOU WORKING AS ENFORCEMENT LANGUAGE OFFICER TO CHECK IF PEOPLE CAN SPEAK FLUENT MANDARIN OR NOT ❓❓ AND WHO GIVE YOU THE AUTHORITY TO DEMAND PEOPLE TO LEAVE ....ARE YOU ALSO AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER ❓❓❓ LOOKING AT YOUR VERY INSULTING COMMENT -- IT IS TIME YOU LEAVE BECAUSE YOU FIT IN A 100% MANDARIN SPEAKING COUNTRY LIKE CHINA ❗❗ IT WOULD BE VERY PAINFUL FOR YOU TO LIVE HERE......BECAUSE IT IS TOO DELUSIONAL FOR YOU TO ACCEPT REALITY THAT ALL SINGAPOREANS ARE ACTUALLY MULTI-RACES, MULTI--CULTURAL.
