    You can buy weaved baskets and bracelets of Penan tribes who have been relocated to live a long house. Quite a nice unique design for souvenir as you cannot take back the protected fauna and flora and rocks of Mulu Caves National Park.

    To buy a God is absolutely common in Malaysia. One need not have to believe in God or convert to certain religion, just pay money to buy a God or many Gods. God shops are abundant in Malaysia, tourists are welcome to our local God shop to see or buy, all up to you.

    Wau ....the Malaysian version of cool kite ...

  • giant kite - Malaysia
    giant kite
    by kenyneo
    This is truly a Malaysian handicraft and favourite past time as well esp. in rural areas. Unlike normal kite, the Wau can be as big as 2.5 metres for wing span and height measuring up to 3.5 metres. Now thats giant kite ! But dont worries you can buy miniature ones as souveniers.

    Why its called Wau ?

    It is called 'Wau' because the shape of its wing is similar to an Arabic letter (pronounced "wow").

    The making of Wau

    similar In making a wau, bamboo is used for the frame. The bamboo is split and soaked in mud for two weeks. This prevents the bamboo from being attacked by weevils as well as makes it more flexible.

    The bamboo splits are used to produce a complex but lightweight frame, tested with one layer of paper and making alterations accordingly to make sure the kite is structurally sound. The patterns are then meticulously cut from rice-paper and glued on piece by piece to form intricate motif

    Types of Wau

    There are various types of wau such as wau kuching (cat kite), wau merak (peacock kite), and wau bulan (moon kite). Each wau also comes with a different design and size

    The company was founded in 1985 and has a workforce of more than 600 skilled craftsmen. The Royal Selangor factory is reputed to be one of the world's largest.

    What 's PEWTER ??

    Pewter is composed of tin, with a small proportion of copper and antimony added to strengthen it. Unlike pewter in the olden days, pewter produced by Royal Selangor does not contain lead, and adheres to international standards

    What can you make from PEWTER

    Almost anything you name it , kitchen ware,drinkware stationeries holder,photo frames, chess sets , statues, lighters,ornamental stuff and the coolest thing is that the company's products is following the market trend or craze..look at these Goblets of Characters from Lord of The Rings ....so what do you think ?
