The batik industry in Sarawak which has huge potential still largely remains untapped. There was a need to give the batik sector a boost, especially in Miri which borders with Brunei, said Sarawak Assistant Tourism Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin.
Miri does not have big centres to showcase their batik and turn it into a major tourism sector. Although, there is huge potential for batik blouses, shirts and textiles because Bruneian women from across the border have a keen interest in buying these fine clothing materials.
