Driven by a passion for environmental sustainability and cultural preservation, a Sabak Bernam entrepreneur has introduced the concept of recycling old and damaged songkok (traditional Malay headwear).

Mohd Hafzan Sardi, 37, founder of the Songkok Malaya brand that specialises in traditional songkok making, first introduced the concept with a two-month campaign last October.
