In Malaysia, batik sarongs were introduced from the Island of Java. The batik technique is a continuous tradition, which contributed new decorative techniques for fabric printing.

Sarongs were adapted as common comfortable clothing and were suitable for the tropical climate. Malaysian batik makers began to make their own sarongs to meet the demand of the local market and over time developed their own expression of the art form. Malaysian batik was influenced by its location, history and cultural diversity. The position of batik in art and culture was interrelated to the issues of cultural development in the country. This research explores the preservation and maintenance of batik sarongs as an integral part of the textile cultural heritage. The specific focus of this study is on traditional batik sarongs
produced in Malaysia with their design characteristics identified
