The sustainability of flora, fauna and geometric motif designs among batik tulis manufacturers in klang valley

Batik di Lembah Klang cenderung membawa ciri-ciri yang lebih tradisional seperti flora dan fauna, dan motif abstrak, walaupun zaman telah berubah. Di samping itu, mereka yang tinggal di bandar begitu
tidak mendapat pengetahuan yang luas tentang batik tulis.

According to Qua (2007), the batik tulis (lukis, canting or Conteng) involves the process of boiling wax to be liquid for the purpose of sketching and colouring the patterns and motifs designed. In the 20th century, the making of Malaysian batik had introduced a new tradition to
the Malaysians, whereby the batik types and motifs became the national symbol to retain its original value, to be protected and inherited by the society that understands its values. Moreover, the awareness of the significance of batik sustainability and preservation has contributed to the rapid progress of batik tulis. Besides, the Malaysian batik is an industrial art, which is a vital symbol that was completely threatened, and now protected by the government as all Malaysians have a similar understanding of batik tulis.
