I am writing this because I have a question to ask The Star newspaper. A paper which I have sold by the kilos. My own collection. My question is, is the paper a tabloid promoting prostitution or promoting promiscuity or what? Just look at their sports news. What have these romps got to do with football? Wonder if the Interior Minister have any say for this. Are we not a Muslim Nation?

Galleon 9

Its just a codename but this is the second biggest I've made though its not my design originally. Of the 30 odd years in this field, as far as i can recall, I've only made less than 10 of this design. Its dimensions are, height approximately 30 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 24 inches long. I'm just guessing because I don't have one for me to measure now. : ) Notice the three masts, there's another even rarer galleon which is the Galleon 10, with 5 mast and even taller and longer. I made only two. One of which broke when I fell and landed on it. Took me a few years to gather the courage to make the 2nd one. :) Interested? Gimme a buzz, ring, whatever..

My Friend, Sham's work of art to wear.

What I think of local batik? Someone once asked me.
Hmm. That’s a tough one. I think there is still room for expansion. Diversify. Increase if you must. Say, in its production and promotion.

The problem with local batik is its way too expensive to get designer labels. The unique ones are always expensive. Wished I can wear batik everyday, in comfortable materials such as cotton. Ready to wear are not available easily. But if one wants batik that’s exactly the same as the next one on the shelf, then most probably that’s not batik but a clone version of batik, probably made in China.

I like the batik done by my good friend, Sham. He is innovative. He strays away from traditional form of producing batiks. I think it’s the background that makes his batik special. Love it.

I also like batik in one colour but with different shades and tones. If you have seen hills and mountains in the morning, you would know what I’m talking about. Like a Chinese painting. All the batik pics you see here are my friend's work. If anyone wants to custom make a batik baju kurung or any kind of batik, feel free to contact me for details. Thank you.
