HERITAGE TEXTILE TENUN PAHANG<br />
The Royal Pahang Weave Foundation celebrates fine craftsmanship from Malaysia.<br />
The Royal Pahang Weave is a Malaysian heritage textile known locally as Tenun Pahang. Tenun<br />
means to weave in the Malay language. The Foundation was originally founded by Her Majesty<br />
Queen Azizah as part of her initiative to preserve the thousand-year old craft of silk-weaving<br />
from her Royal seat in Pekan, Pahang. Her multi-layered approach to reviving and preserving this<br />
craft involved a close partnership with the Prison Department in Malaysia to upskill inmates,<br />
educating them in the traditional techniques of weaving silk.<br />
She then founded a company named Cheminahsayang, to offer trained prison inmates gainful<br />
employment upon their release. The company has now become a space for social inclusion, as<br />
both released inmates and professional weavers of the highest calibre work together.<br />
Under Her Majesty’s patronage, the Foundation has become the leading craft organisation in<br />
Malaysia to promote fine craftsmanship, both locally and internationally.<br />
