Learning varieties of wearing the Sampin

This is from last Saturday night.


Me and family went to a certain dining establishment in Petaling Jaya to attend a function.


Everyone was dressed in old traditional Malay attire.


Held by a cultural NGO called Pusaka KL it featured a number of ways of wearing the Sampin, the traditional Malay clothes worn around the waist to complete one's appearance.














The evening also saw members of the NGO or association sharing their experience joining a mounted archery contest in Korea.  The contest was held about a week earlier or so





Pusaka KL was started as a group for keris (traditional Malay blade) collectors and lovers about 2 years ago if I'm not mistaken. But lately they have been more active in archery and have accepted members from more parts of Malaysia. As such we were told they would officially change the assocation's name and formally extend scope of activities soon.
