Really? I am Hainan and my wife is hokkien. We got into SHHK because of that. But that was donkey years ago, so they may have changed the rules...

I think as long as 1 parent's birth cert shows Hokkien as dialect, then that parent will be able to join SHHK. Sadly for me, my dad is Tamil and my wife's dad is Teochew.

Hi all!


Very interesting to note all the replies wrt to Churches/Clans and Societies! I am a parent of mixed background, my dad is indian(tamil) and mum chinese (hokkien). For what its worth, does anyone know if being Tamil or being in any tamil association helps with school enrolment? I tried searching for more info but seems like i cant find any info!

PS - I called SHHK to enquire if can use my mum hokkien status, they say cant as will have to follow my dad.

Thanks in advance!
