International Exhibition At Bumiputera Commercial Complex
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Three batik textile companies from Kelantan, Malaysia are currently participating in the International Exhibition and Sale at the Bumiputera Commercial Complex in the capital for the third time in a show of trust towards the local market.

Owners of RSB Collections, Veena Collections and Fareen Silk House said they would like to hold a batik fashion show in the Sultanate in the near future to promote their collections and manufacturing business.

"We also don't mind transferring our batik-making technology to interested individuals. We will do this by holding batik workshops in the country," they said.

In the past, the companies nearly sold out their latest collections every time they came to Brunei for exhibitions.

"Bruneians are definitely fashion-conscious and love new batik designs. The market may be small, but there is a huge purchasing ability," they said.

The exhibition is organised by the Department of Community Development, Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports and is facilitated by Syarikat Perdana.

Meanwhile, two local companies specialising in curtains, Jasa Ibu Enterprise and Puteri Bungsu Enterprise, said they have been participating in exhibitions around the country, as they felt they could attract new customers from the events.

"We have showrooms in Kiulap Commercial Complex, but we are very keen in participating in such events hoping to bring in more customers our way," said Hjh Murna Yetti of Jasa Ibu Enterprise.

"Our prices on the Indonesian-made curtains are moderate and people are usually surprised to find that it is not expensive to buy elaborately-designed drapes."

Various items such as bags, religious books, perfumes, food supplements, scarves and toys are also available at the exhibition.

Members of the public are welcome to visit the exhibition from 10am to 10pm. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
