Since Mar 2014, the Malay Heritage Centre, in partnership with Persatuan Bawean Singapura (Baweanese Association of Singapore), held an exhibition to highlight the development of the Baweanese community in Singapore. They were originally from Pulau Bawean near Java and migrated to Singapore in the early 19th century. To mark the closing of the exhibition on 5 Jul 2014, 390 pieces of roti bawean (bawean bread) were arranged to form the words ‘Pameran Laaobe anjuran PBS dan TWM’ which measured 6m by 2.4m. The bread was later shared among the guests.
