"We want to learn with Jepara to restore the carving industry in Malaysia that has vanished. In addition to attracting the interest of young people working in carving industries whose businesses are so large," said Redzuan.
Redzuan said, currently in Malaysia itself there is carving but not as big as in Jepara which has many carving artists. A total of 400 art workers spread across Selangor, Johor, Kelantan and Malacca.
He said he wanted a partnership by sending a Jepara carving coach to be sent to Malaysia to teach carving there.
