Johor\u2019s cultural heritage has been enriched since 1528 during the reign of the descendants of the Melaka Sultanate. Being a maritime nation, Johor was exposed to the various cultures, practices and beliefs brought by traders and missionaries from Europe, the Middle East, India, China and the Far East. The influence of Islam and Western culture introduced by the British impacted Johor\u2019s socio-politics, economy, and administration and paved the way to modernity. Native and feudal palace culture, including food, clothing and the art of paying homage to royalty, were replaced by a combination of Malay, Islamic and Western cultures and rituals that remain relevant to the present day. The development of an intelligent mind of the people through education, in particular English education, was advantageous to the effective administration under Sultan Abu Bakar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Among the cultural features absorbed by the Johor Sultanate is clothing. Human civilization shaped its history of attire. Clothing is a human need to protect against the vagaries of the weather that may cause bodily harm, adapt the body to temperatures, maintain dignity and provide comfort and ease of movement. Traditional attire, not fashion, is a heritage that reflects society's civilisation and shapes its culture through design, fabric, patterns and colours. Clothing may be regarded as a symbol of the status of rank, identity, beliefs and religious rituals. The uniqueness of Johor\u2019s traditional attire, introduced by Sultan Abu Bakar 160 years ago and improved with time, remains relevant to the present day. The Johor attire, better known as Baju Kurung,<\/em> is defined as a fashion of clothing that encloses or confines the body. The dress for males and females have similar features, like flat round collars fashioned and finely hemmed in the design of the eel\u2019s bones fastened with a single stud, but differ in designs and the art of wearing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>

Johor\u2019s iconic attire inspired by Maharaja Abu Bakar is made from thin cotton fabric. It is loose-fitting, roomy and comfortable to wear in the local climate. The attire was adapted from Indian Muslim merchants. The tunic is long, extending below the waist, and the sleeves extend to the wrists. Abu Bakar created two types of dress. The first has a high collar fastened with two studs and a vent extending to the chest held together with three studs. During the time of Abu Bakar, this fashion was reserved for royalty and nobility. The dress of ordinary people is the second type, with a flat round collar hemmed in the style of an eel\u2019s bones and fastened with a single stud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
