He said the male teachers would wear batik shirts while the female teachers would wear baju kurung of various batik designs. “Every Thursday, it is a must for us to wear batik outfits. “Most of us will wear traditional Kelantanese batik outfits, but some will also use Indonesian batik, which are popular nowadays. “Wearing batik will make us look elegant and fashionable, especially when we use the traditional batik fabric,” he said. Ramzi said he also encouraged the school’s pupils, who were all Orang Asli, to tell their parents about the beauty of batik outfits when they returned home every weekend.
