In this Malaysia Day special, I Love KL celebrates communities that blur the mainstream ethnic lines. Join us as we learn about some of the Peranakan communities here in the country - the Baba & Nyonya and Chetti communities from Melaka, as well as the Serani diaspora - their ways of living, and how they reconcile their identities with modernity.
