  • Sarongs once worn by her mother, imbued with memories of childhood – familial objects like that informs one’s sense of identity, and are reminders of what one can be proud of.

    The most valuable objects found in the home of Cynthia Wee-Hoefer, who has vast experience working in publishing and news, are two century-old batik sarongs. Despite some wear and tear, they remain much cherished for their symbolism, reminders of the Peranakan culture she grew up with.
