Lone Chinese family in Muslim village loves Malay tradition


In full Malay gear: Siau Hooi and her husband looking resplendent at their wedding in Kampung Tebuk Haji Musa, Parit Buntar.

PARIT BUNTAR: The Ng family is one of a kind in Kampung Tebuk Haji Musa, being the only Chinese in the 3,000-strong Muslim village.

“No issue at all. I have lived here for decades. They come to my house for Chinese New Year and we go over for Raya. Ada kenduri, kami campur sekali. Biasa lah! (When there is a feast we all get together. It’s normal!),” said the Ng family patriarch Air Chin, 61, better known as Ah Khaw in the village.
