Malaysian Batik is famous on the east cost of Malaysia (Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang).There are several batik types, namely batik tulis,batik cap and batik print. Batik tulis is handmade from scratching, waxing by canting, and coloring using dye. The most popular motifs are leaves and flowers.Malaysian batik depicting animals are rare because Islam norms forbid animal images as decoration. However, the butterfly theme is a common exception. The Malaysian batik is also famous for its geometrical designs, such as spirals.
The Malaysian government is now promoting Malaysian Batik through fashion by having local designers to create new fashions, inspired by batik.
