Batik Rahmah: MP proposes tax exemption for batik producers. [Newspaper] (2023)



Abstract

KUALA LUMPUR: A Member of Parliament (MP) today (September 14) urged the government to consider providing tax exemption on the materials used in batik production to the country's batik producers.

Datuk Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik (PH-Balik Pulau), said the move could lower the price, allowing all segments of society to wear Malaysian batik.

"There are complaints about the high price of a batik shirt, but I would like to emphasise that every piece of Malaysian batik represents a piece of art made by at least seven artisans involving waxing, painting, block making, stamping, boiling, fixing colours and so on," he said.
