WHAT DOES BABA MEAN IN MALAY?

Baba and Madam

Baba dan Nyonya

Baba and Madam are a group of Chinese descendants whose unique position is among the Chinese in the Straits Settlements, Malaya, especially in Melaka. However, some of them refuse to acknowledge that they are Chinese but instead claim that they are British and are proud of this position. Furthermore, they are holding new Chinese immigrants, and have their own club which does not allow Chinese immigrants to enter. They call themselves "Baba" or "Peranakan" because their culture, which is derived from the Chinese heritage, has elements of Malay cultural influence. Their cultural adaptation and resilience to the socio-cultural atmosphere in their past environment, which is through intermarriage between the Chinese and the Malays, is a major cause of why the next generations called them "Baba". In terms of affection, most of them still retain traditional Chinese and Buddhist religions, but many have embraced other religions like Christians who are very popular among adolescents.

Baba dan Nyonya adalah segolongan keturunan kaum Cina yang unik kedudukannya di kalangan kaum Cina yang terdapat di Negeri-negeri Selat, Tanah Melayu, khususnya di negeri Melaka. Bagaimanapun, sebahagian mereka enggan mengakui bahawa mereka adalah orang Cina tetapi sebaliknya mendakwa bahawa mereka adalah rakyat British dan amat berbangga dengan kedudukan ini. Tambahan pula, mereka mengeji pendatang-pendatang Cina yang baru, dan mempunyai kelab tersendiri yang tidak membenarkan pendatang-pendatang Cina masuk. Mereka memanggil diri mereka sebagai "Baba" atau "Peranakan" kerana kebudayaan mereka, yang berasal daripada warisan tradisi Cina, mempunyai unsur-unsur pengaruh kebudayaan Melayu. Penyesuaian dan resapan budaya mereka terhadap suasana sosio-budaya di persekitaran mereka di zaman silam, iaitu melalui perkahwinan campur yang berlaku di antara kaum-kaum Cina dan Melayu, adalah punca utama mengapa generasi-generasi seterusnya memanggil mereka sebagai "Baba". Dari segi anutan, kebanyakannya masih mengekalkan agama tradisional Cina dan Buddha, namun telah ramai yang memeluk agama lain seperti Kristian yang amat popular di kalangan remaja.
