Prodo Magnificent Batik Night
On monday evening, I attended batik fashion show with the theme of Four Season held by Prodo Magazine in Hotel Mulia, Senayan. If you’re confused, batik is Indonesian traditional fashion with unique patterns that has been used national-wide. Prodo Magazine has managed to held this huge event of batik designs competition (Lomba Rancang Busana Batik) and fashion show, combined with entertainment from Indonesian singers and dancers to help batik recognized globally. And I really appreciate the effort.
Please check more stories, pictures and videos about the magnificent batik night on my blog 
Here in Malaysia, we also have a thriving batik fashion industry. But if truth be told, I much prefer the elegant designs of Indonesian batik. Malaysian designs tend to be gaudy. Two thumbs up for Indonesian batik!
But the Malaysian government is trying to help the batik industry and last week announced that it is compulsory for government workers to wear batik every Thursday to work. And it must be ‘Malaysian’ batik. Yes, I am also puzzled as to how they are going to enforce the “Malaysian” rule!
We have 1 million plus govt workers for a population of 26 million. That works out to a lot of batik!!
Thanks for your nice appreciation, Kamal. Here in Indonesia, government workers wear batik every Friday.
Very nice shot, has a nice journalistic look to it.
Yes Paul, it’s called citizen journalism
Love batik prints! Very cool.
We just call it Batik right rite? No Blablabla Batik….Indonesian genuine culture…HEy,,, u have started earlier in making this kind of blog….I like it.

It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka? days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering –waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. http://www.timberland4you.co.uk/ QL
