IF German couple Andreas and Alma Grundtvig had only one mission during their trip to Johor Baru, it was to buy clothing made from Malaysian batik.

Andreas, 52, said he and his wife Alma, 58, visited Singapore before coming to Johor Baru for three days to explore local attractions and get their hands on some batik items to take home.
