Hasnisalfina said she mastered the art of making songkok after marrying her husband in 1992. “My late husband opened a songkok shop at the Malay Bazar, Kuala Pilah in the 1960s. “At the time, business was brisk because we were the only songkok shop in Kuala Pilah. “I don’t hire workers because making a songkok is complicated and requires expertise to meet the customers’ expectations.
