Traditional Trades

The traditional trades or what are known as “dying trades” used to be numerous in Penang, Malaysia. As the name implies, these trades are facing extinction as newer, more glamorous industries take root in the country.

As the years go by hopefully as the artists and skilled workers retire, the art form and the handiworks remain.
