#SupportLokal - Top 5 Malaysian Brands for the Win | By Jane Law
It’s Merdeka month and there’s no better time than now to put on our proud, patriotic faces as we celebrate the independence of our country hand in hand. As Malaysians, we take pride in a lot of things our country has to offer- the food, the multiracial environment we grew up in, our signature ‘rojak’ language, the sports team, and of course our local brands! From t-shirts to makeup products and tote bags, no one understands Malaysia more than our own designers. These local brands carry the flavour and essence of our country that we have so proudly claimed as part of our blood. Without further ado, here are 5 totally creative and super innovative homegrown brands worth supporting.
