Siti Nurul Liyana Mohamud, 22, was in a jovial mood after receiving her certificate in kelingkan, a traditional Malay embroidery, under The Silver Lining Project (TSLP), organised by the Malaysian Craft Council and co-funded by Khazanah Nasional’s Yayasan Hasanah and the Finance Ministry in Kuala Lumpur recently.
