I think i can beat your earliest Mountain Tortoise Sua Ku & Sua TengLang & go one or more generations before, this is from the seriously old timer Peranakans in pre-war days who called those coming off the boats from Fujian China as "Sin Khek" aka newly arrived, they were looked down by the rich & educated Peranakans who called them uncouth country bumpkins!![]()
i'm impressed. hard to find sinkhek these days. but easy to find sinkies.

way before ancient peranakans there were ming princesses and maids. they must had brought with them silk, jewelry and gold. bling bling. :o
