MELAKA: The Nyonya kebaya is being promoted as the signature attire to usher in the 50th anniversary of Malaysia and China’s diplomatic ties.

Jonker Walk management committee chairman Datuk Gan Tian Loo said apart from its aesthetic value, the Nyonya kebaya is also a symbol of the deep ties with China that flourished for centuries in the historical city of Melaka.
