Chong Eun’s life in Singapore began with her family’s relocation here at the end of 2010.
Her new life at first seemed challenging as it was the first time she had lived outside of Korea. But thanks to guiding as a volunteer docent at the National Museum of Singapore and the Malay Heritage Centre, she became fascinated by the heritage and culture of Singapore—something quite new to Korean visitors. So she decided to be a tourist guide and help them enjoy the diversity of Singapore’s culture and history.
Her name has helped her in Singapore as ‘Chong’ is a common name among Chinese Singaporeans, and ‘Baik’ means ‘good’ in Malay. She only needs to add a Tamil word to be a perfect fit for Singapore’s multi-racial society! Chong Eun is indeed a ‘Baik’ and friendly guide who loves to share her passion for her new home.
