When the pandemic and the ensuing movement control order struck last year, Melaka native Melissa Chan began to think of ways she could help her community.
Chan is a Melaka culture buff, who until 2018, was the curator of the Baba & Nyonya Museum in the state. She is also the co-author (with her father Henry Chan Kim Cheng) of the book, Stories Of One Malaccan Family.
In putting together that book, Chan spoke to a number of families in the heritage city. Those interactions sparked an idea, which eventually became The Bendahari, a space dedicated to honouring the culture and heritage of Melaka.
