Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor, Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin, today expressed hope that efforts to preserve the heritage textile art of ‘sulaman kelingkan’ (kelingkan embroidery) can be made by the people of Selangor.

She urged the Selangor Malay Customs and Heritage Corporation (PADAT) to plan a programme to reinvigorate this cultural heritage that used to be popular in Selangor.
