In traditional Chinese culture, Family Heritage is very important to a family. The chinese in the south east asia countries were originate from China and the migration happened in the last few hundred years.
Younger generation will soon forget about their untold/uninformed family heritage. It would be interesting to use digital technology to bring family heritage/cultures to closer to the young generation.
One of the better documented family heritage of Khoo clan could be found in the website below.

The origin of the clan, the clan structure, cultures, beautiful architecture temples can be found in the website.
The idea is to let the users to experience the cultures and through their first person experience and through their interaction with the older users (for example grandparents), remember those cultures and pass on to the next generation.
Through an interative system, the users can learn about their family heritage.
Example we could have fishing games to teach children about the power of collectiveness. One person may not be able to catch the fish, but through collaborative effort, the team could easily catch fishes. Also users could understand the hardworking spirit of their ancestors.
