Sompoton is a traditional musical instrument and it is famous for it's unique shape (center above). Unlike Sabah, Sarawak is also famous for wooden handicrafts. My favorite is the wooden cat. Melaka is a state famous with peranakan/nyonya culture and heritage. So Melaka is famous with nyonya crafts and the most famous is the nyonya terompah. Nyonya terompah is a wooden platform flip flops. Congkak is one the most famous traditional Malaysian handicraft for foreign tourist to bring home. Congkak is a traditional board game.

Besides Malay, our country also have Chinese, Indian, Sabah and Sarawak, and many more. Each races have their own traditional costume. Malay traditional costume the baju kurung and baju kebaya for women, and the baju melayu for men. Our traditional costumes are wearable, comfortable, modest, and elegant.
