Given the current proficiency of Mandarin in Singapore, the folks a century ago might have found it amusing that they invested time translating religious documents into Mandarin, only to find a majority of their descendant could not master the language like they used to. 😄

Come on guys, 100 years isn't that old.average person can live 75-80 years 😊.. In Europe or China there are human relics that dated back thousand of years ago😅

It survived world war 2, amazing!

Just 100 year means recent. Could just be similar content being propagated nowadays

Sarawak Chinese Annual Conference (SCAC) ; Sarawak Methodist should have a look too. We are largely foochow here in Sibu & Sarikei, Sarawak

That church is already there for 100 years?

Disappointing.
Why? They expect Christianity would become extinct? That they need to store bibles, hymns etc, as reminders that such a religion did exist 100yrs ago?
What a let down.
