The Yayasan Buidling of Bandar Brunei Darusalam offers fantastic shopping facilities. But the most wonderful outlet is the mini-songket living museum right at the entrance (facing the river Brunei or Kedayan).
You can't miss it!! Here I have some photos to show you the splendid shop-cum-mini-museum of a living cultural skill!!
A view of the whole loom....
The beautiful loom for songket making....a legacy of women of olden days....
Beautiful threads...slowly turning into a beautiful piece of Songket...the pride of Brunei.
The skilful young lady and her loom...this may take her three months to finish.
Modern hand made silk products from local people as well as foreign countries.
Lovely embroidery for the neck of the traditional Baju Kurong/kebaya..Hand made this costs a bomb and especially prepared for a wedding!!
Lovely view of the outside from the shop!!
Another shot of the loom...and the wooden threading wheels - isn't women's weaving skills amazing? And this has been with us for perhaps 20 generations or more??!

Radio Free Sarawak is the independent radio station that brings you the news you want to hear, not what others want you to hear. No one controls us, except you, the listeners of Sarawak . So tune in and enjoy the news, interviews, reports and comment that you will never get to hear on any of the other government-controlled radio stations in Sarawak. There will be plenty of our best music too, all presented to you in Iban and Malay by Michael Ngau, Kakak Burung Tiong and on Sundays by Papa Orang Utan, our own man from the jungles of Sarawak!
Please listen in and send us back your comments and views, so we can be in touch with you and bring you the radio programme that you like. If you have an issue, a problem or a story that you would like the rest of Sarawak to hear about please get in touch.
We may play out your comments or we may even ring you back so remember, leave your number if you want!
You can also follow us on our facebook page or twitter account.
And for further independent news and reports on Sarawak go to Sarawak Report.
We are a group of citizens and onlookers deeply concerned by the situation in Sarawak, East Malaysia.
In the league table of corrupt countries robbed by greedy rulers, Sarawak’s name must come very near the top in terms of the sheer magnitude of theft. And for nearly thirty years the reason has lain with one man, the billionaire Chief Minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud.
As the Mahmud family and their associates bask in extraordinary riches, with assets and properties strewn across the world, the ordinary people of Sarawak, Malaysia’s richest state, remain amongst its poorest inhabitants. The profits from timber, oil and now oil palm (much of it grown on land illegally sequestered from the indigenous communities) have gone straight into the pockets of the BN party cronies, who have run the country like a personal business and plundered it indiscriminately for the past four decades of continuous rule.
The once unparalleled tropical rainforests have been denuded – scarcely 3% remain uncut – and the tribal peoples who depended on the forests for their food are now deprived of their means of subsistence and starving. Development has been restricted to the coastal towns, home to the BN elites.
In Taib’s Sarawak there is no platform allowed for those who wish to bring this corruption to light and no voice given to the opposition parties, who are denied access to the state-controlled media. With an election looming, Sarawak Report exists to provide that platform and to offer an alternative vision of justice, transparency and a fairer future in Sarawak.
