The author remembered with a features writer ever made and published in the Sunday edition of Sound Update, about a year ago. The article titled When Going to Indonesia Batik Malaysia. This is the most content:

"Malaysia is one of the countries seriously develop a variety of things. For example in the world of fashion, particularly dresses from batik material. While many fashion lovers know that batik comes from Indonesia, and even has become one of the local genius (local brilliance) population of Indonesia in the past, do not make a small Malaysian hearts.

In 2004, Royal Malaysian government has even launched a campaign of Malaysia Batik - crafted for the World. Through the campaign, all the entrepreneurs of batik in Malaysia are encouraged to further enhance their creations. Driven entrepreneurs to make batik batik-batik, adjusted for current fashion trends favored the wider community.

Malaysian authorities also try to continually turn the public interest to make it more like batik, through various activities including an open competition for youngsters to be creative with batik. The introduction of batik art, including batik technique, also taught in schools.

The government there has also launched the Malaysian batik promotion in almost every major event, including the promotion of the country's batik was known in the world fashion centers, such as London, Milan and Paris. No wonder Malaysia batik is now starting interest fashionistas from around the world.

In fact, from existing records, new batik became popular in Malaysia in the 1970s. At that time, new batik used and favored by the high society and fashion fans who make batik as one part of the country's high-class fashion.

Batik-batik in Malaysia, of course, when it was imported from Indonesia. Fine batik-batik is traditionally made in a number of centers such as batik in Pekalongan, Cirebon, and Yogyakarta, as well as batik-batik works of a number of Indonesian batik designers, such as Iwan Tirta.

One-loving Indonesian batik was a woman named Noor Fatimah Ishak Malaysia. Once her love for batik, to the extent he ever was crowned Miss Festival 1979 in Kuala Lumpur Batik. Noor's interest in batik, made himself and then started collecting batik-batik works of Iwan Tirta which he said is very exclusive and elegant.

Noor also collecting batik batik-high value from the Pekalongan and a number of other areas in Indonesia. The collection includes some batik cloth that has been worth hundreds of years old and is very high. Later Noor is also collecting works of batik designers Adriyanto and Tuty Cholid, two Indonesian fashion designers who often use batik as a material of their clothing designs.

The colors were also more variable, resulting in an impressed batik modern, dynamic and vibrant. "

Thus, in the current era of free trade, it is we can not prevent the entry of Malaysian batik to Indonesia. The question, whether Indonesian batik is also able to go to Malaysia and other countries with "smooth", and became the main option, and the number one foreign batik lovers? This is a job for us all.
