The National Craft Day 2020 (HKK 2020) which runs daily until March 9 at the Kuala Lumpur Craft Complex (Seksyen 63, Jalan Conlay, KL) is focusing on the socio-economic empowerment of the people.

Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation (Kraftangan Malaysia) director-general Ibrahim Ismail said, with the theme “Socio-Economic Empowerment Of People Through Craft”, the HKK 2020 was held in conjunction with the Shared Prosperity Vision where Kraftangan Malaysia translated craft products not only as art products but also as an opportunity to generate additional income for households.
