Mohamad Kasat Bujang Narawi, 45, collects metal scraps from motorcycle repair shops and he isn’t ashamed to admit it.

“Many parts from the motorcycle that are dismantled can be reused and transformed into new things. There’s a sense of joy in giving a new lease of life to old, unwanted things,” says the Sarawakian steampunk crafter, who was one of the exhibitors at Hari Kraftangan Kebangsaan in Kuala Lumpur recently.
