MELAKA: The Baba and Nyonya community are now permitted to amend their race on birth certificates to better reflect their identity.
Baba and Nyonya Association of Malaysia chairman Datuk Ronald Gan said the Peranakan Chinese in the state can start registering their race as "Baba Nyonya" on their birth certificates from this month until the end of the year, before the same is extended to the community in other parts of the country by January 2026.
