Malaysia: The Next Chapter - A Stitch In Time

As part of our 64th Merdeka Day celebrations, we’re taking a look this week at Malaysia: The Next Chapter - companies and people who exemplify the potential in Malaysia’s future. Steven Lee, proprietor of Ban Wah Textiles, shares the shop’s history stemming from the era of World War 2, his pride in passing on his family business to his son, and how he is faring through the storm of the pandemic.
