The sirat...the forgotten item of sarawak.. at least to me, wore it a few times for traditional events, dances and for my traditional wedding photo

Maybe some famous guys should wear it and make it a trend... like the sarong,
People here scared if i say i want to wear my traditional dress... sirat.. tutup aurat..
Ba...ba...baa oooooooo...
