LAST Thursday night, some hundred-something people gathered in a small hall at the Securities Commission (SC) office at Bukit Kiara.
But they were not there to talk about the capital markets or the finance world. Instead, they were all there to attend a fashion show, which was part of the bigger Batik Lestari Festival aimed at promoting the rich legacy of Malaysian batik and elevating it on the global stage.
