PETALING JAYA: Marketing the Malaysian baju kebaya to the global fashion market will draw more “shopaholics” to the country, said Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Dr James Dawos Mamit.

Baju kebaya designers, he said, should take advantage of the finding that foreign tourists spent 30% of their expenditure in Malaysia on shopping.
