IPOH: Perak Batik is distinguished by its unique kelumpang flower patterns, which are considered a valuable asset and a defining identity of the product.
These distinct kelumpang motifs elevate Perak Batik to stand alongside other states and countries, showcasing the state’s unique craftsmanship.
Efforts to promote Perak Batik are being spearheaded by the Perak Menteri Besar Incorporated (MB Inc.) through a courtesy visit to the Corporate Communications Centre at the University of Malaya (UM) in Kuala Lumpur.
In a statement, MB Inc. said this initiative is a strategic effort to strengthen collaboration in the Perak Batik industry.
