Most Peranakan moved to Penang/SG in the last decade, you can see the increasing influence and food sold there. In Malaysia, I am afraid only Melaka is the only place left and even that is lesser due to increasing racism and Islamization. Note that despite marrying Malays, Peranakans are not Muslims as required by "law" in the past.

The migration and non-Muslim are originally not a factor to become Bumi/Peranakan. It was simply love between two races back in Melaka. When the NEP started then Arab-isation by Anwar in UMNO decades back, then only the requirement of Bumis = Malays + muslims are set. If the current definition of Bumis are being imposed back in the old days, Sabah, Sarawak and many alliances will cease to be since they won't want that kind of unfair arrangement.

This is why it is important for Malays to learn their own history, no matter whether it's bad or good. FYI bumi definition is set in Cons, but the NEP and the benefits/social status were granted outside the constitution, circumventing the need of Parliament approval.

For you to be called peranakan, must be someone who married a local i.e. Malay. I don't know how many generations down the road for you, but you are misinformed. The culture and dishes of peranakan is 50/50 malay+chinese. Why are you claiming differently, when the definition of Peranakan is already set in stone as mixed?

LMAO! but yea secret recipes should be kept that way
