Description
Sent by her impoverished parents from China to Singapore in 1931, six-year-old Rose Chan learned to survive on her wits and bravado. The Flower of Malaya transformed herself into the consummate show woman with her shocking dance moves and snake wrestling acts that took her and her troupe around Malaya and the world.
Behind the glamour, the five marriages, travel and adulation was a life of hardship, sorrow and suffering that threatened to break her but never left her bowed. In her 'retirement' years, Rose returned to the one place she felt happiest - Penang - where she ran her famous Sakura club until her untimely death in 1987.
