In this first episode of my mini-series on Joo Chiat, I examine how this neighbourhood's conservation and gentrification affect its buildings, communities, and living Peranakan culture. I sit down with Alvin Yapp, the "gatekeeper" of The Intan, a private Peranakan home museum in the Joo Chiat neighbourhood. The museum remains Alvin’s home and transforms into a museum when visitors arrive. He hopes an overseas museum, gallery, or university can acquire or receive a long-term donation of part of his extensive collection of Peranakan items.
