Batik printing techniques and goods have long had a very prominent presence apart from well known producers such as India and Africa. South East Asia is one of those regions where it has long been deeply rooted in the cultures of countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. And they are still very active in the industry today. Malaysia has traditionally been a key player when dealing with batik in this region. Ultimately, the Malaysian government has long been working to turn Malaysia into a regional hub for all things batik. Some parties have claimed that batiks from India as well as Indonesia are superior but that does not mean Malaysian goods are bad by any stretch. It is deeply integrated in society here, particularly in local government events. It is also standard practice for all government officials in Malaysia to don a batik shirt for all official events. This is more of an understood rule rather than one enshrined in local laws and it stems from the time of Malaysia's independence from British rule under the reign of Tunku Abdul Rahman. Malaysian prints are mainly produced in two states located in the north east. Both the states of Kelantan as well as Terengganu have been very active producers for the global market. Nowadays however, production seems to be geared more for international demand rather than local demand. Those from younger generations tend to look upon batik clothing with disdain as they are deemed to be old fashioned. Batik fabric is cloth which normally uses the wax-resist dyeing technique to produce such patterns. However, due to advances in the field of printing, many products are put into the category of batik even though they were not made with traditional methods. The popular and well regarded Javanese Batik has designs that are based on the the culture and religion of the area. The three main colors that are used in such prints are usually dark brown, white and Indigo. This is because in the old days, natural dyes were usually only found in these colors. The patterns on the Batik also denote the rank and social standing of the individual. The patterns from Java usually differ from any other area in Indonesia itself or other parts of the world. This is because the motifs and patterns present on the fabric is usually a reflection of the specific areas culture and religion. In northern Java for example, batik fabric is usually brightly colored as they draw on the cultures from a variety of background which include, Chinese, Dutch, Arabic and Javanese. One of the things you will find most fascinating about Malaysia is its people and culture. Being a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual society of 28 million is no easy feat, as race continues to be a hotly debated issue and permeates almost every aspect of Malaysian life. The Malaysian population consists of 62% Bumiputeras, which includes Malays and the Indigenous peoples, 24% Chinese, 8% Indians, and the rest are other minorities. Or as we say in Malaysia, 'lain-lain' or others. Citizenship in East Malaysia or the states of Sabah and Sarawak are a little different from citizenship in Peninsular Malaysia for immigration purposes. When West Malaysians visit East Malaysia, they are required to bring their MyKad, a biometric smart chip identity card, which must be carried by citizens of Malaysia at all times. The Malays form the largest community, and they are defined as Muslims in the Constitution of Malaysia- in other words, if you are Malay, you are automatically Muslim. The Malays are the big brothers of politics, dominating the political scene. Their native language is Malay, the national language of the country. They are also sometimes called 'bumiputra', or 'princes of the soil' and are favoured with certain affirmative action policies. This has been a point of discontent with a lot of minorities. Among others, getting a 10% to 25% discount when buying a house and receiving government tenders and scholarships are some of these benefits. How did this come about? I'll tell you more in the economy section. The second biggest group are the Chinese. They are mostly Buddhists, Taoists or Christians. The Chinese community speaks a variety of Chinese dialects including Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka, and Teochew- all from the native familial provinces in China. But today, many Chinese speak English as their first language; in fact there are some who speak only English. If the Malays dominate the political scene, the Chinese dominate the business scene. There is a sizable middle class consisting of the Chinese. T Shirt Printing Malaysia
