It was my third time attending the KLIB as a speaker and the only Singaporean member of The World Batik Council. It is a bi-annual convention held on 9-11 December at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It also coincides with their nationwide batik design competition – The Piala Sri Endon.

This time I shared my experience of our community batik project in Namibia and my views about how to promote batik by making it an accessible experience through community batik projects. My profile below and proceedings from my 2009 presentation titled: High and Low Batik Painting.

Art Commentary: Making Things Right When We Are Wronged

This is an extremely late post. I found this article and response for the Malay Newspaper exactly a year ago today. Its my response about the writers misconception about artistic development of the Malays in Singapore. I thought its necessary to post it here for posterity. Apologies no translation is available.

My response was to clarify the writer's misconception about the lack of support in the Singapore Malay community.
