Malaysia's Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, in a Wednesday statement, said Malaysia, together with Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand, successfully secured the UNESCO recognition.
It was announced during the 19th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (December 02-07) taking place now in Asuncion, Paraguay.
The kebaya, a long-sleeved upper garment traditionally made from a variety of fabrics and featuring intricate embroidery and lace, fastened with a clasp, is popular in South-East Asia. It became fashionable at the turn of the 20th century.
According to the ministry, this listing marks Malaysia's third successful joint or multinational nomination, after the joint nomination of 'Pantun' with Indonesia (2020) and the 'Wangkang Ceremony' with China (2020).
This recognition also enhanced Malaysia's global visibility as a country with intangible cultural heritage treasures, which had the potential to become tourism products and contribute to the economy, MOTAC said.
Yesterday, Celtic's winning machine rolled on with a 3-0 victory against Hibernian to move nine points clear of Aberdeen at the Scottish Premiership summit.
The first goal came when Arne Engels swept home Alistair Johnston's cross in the sixth minute.
The second came when Adam Idah rose to flick on a Luke McCowan corner at the near post with the ball going into the back of the net off an unfortunate Hibs player in the 54th minute.
And then, Celtic put the game to bed when Kyogo Furuhashi produced a stunning finish in the 84th minute to dink it over the Hibs goalkeeper following James Forrest’s through ball.
Meanwhile, the Merseyside derby has been called off because of Storm Darragh.
