These are some of the importance of preserving Malay indigenous knowledge, Labu sayong. This knowledge should be safeguarded as it is very unique and special.
1. TRADITIONAL
HERITAGE
It is
believed that pottery-production has started by the Malays thousand of years
ago. This traditional heritage must be kept alive as it is one of the evidence
from the history of Malay civilization. It is irrefutable evidence of the origins
of the primal communities referred to as the Malays.
2. NATIONAL
IDENTITY
As we
all know, a pottery-making was introduced by Tuk Muluk, a “migrant” from
Sumatra. This means we should understand that the people of Sumatra, which is
Sumatra Malays shared a common identity, ancestry, and ethnicity with the
peninsular.
3. REDUCE
INVENTION OF PLASTICS
Nowadays, the usage of pottery products has
been declining due to the increase of plastics products. We should attract back the
society in using the pottery products, such as labu sayong. It can reduce the
invention of plastics which is good.
