Malaysia in joint Unesco heritage bid for the kebaya
Malaysia joins hands with four other countries to submit a joint nomination to the Unesco Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity for the year 2023. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 4, 2023.
The kebaya is a garment representing a significant part of the cultural heritage and identity of women from the Malay, Peranakan and other communities in Malaysia, as well as other countries in Southeast Asia. All participating countries were involved in a series of working meetings since early last year, with Malaysia hosting the first physical workshop in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan last November, followed by the second workshop in Jakarta, Indonesia in February.
“The kebaya is also associated with other forms of cultural heritage, such as festive occasions and weddings. There is an active community of makers and wearers of kebaya who share and transmit the knowledge and socio-cultural value of the kebaya from one generation to another,” the statement read.
