Tengku Ismail Tengku Su - The Duke Of Songket

Thanks, New Straits Times.

Tengku Ismail Tengku Su, who died at 60 recently after a long illness, will always be remembered as Malaysia's Duke of Songket.
The Terengganu prince, more than anyone else, spent his lifetime promoting the traditional Malay embroidery, Songket, around the world.
He famously designed Songket garments for VIPs including Kings, Sultans, Governors and Prime Ministers.
