Tun Endon launched the Malaysia Batik - Crafted for the World Movement and the Piala Seri Endon Batik Design Competition in 2003.

The year-end celebrations saw the Batik Extravaganza, which included a Batik Street Carnival. Centered mainly around the Bukit Bintang area, a carnival atmosphere was created, with fun, games, fashion shows, concerts with popular stars and batik bazaars in malls around the Klang Valley. There was also the Batik Fun Walk - bringing attention to batik in a wholesome, family- oriented way.

Alongside this were Batik trade and craft shows. Exhibits and demonstrations were also staged in several malls and hotels.

Roadshows were held in Penang (5th and 6th June 2004) and Sabah (23rd July 2004). Fashion shows featuring the Piala Seri Endon entries and exhibits explaining the Malaysia Batik- Crafted for the World Movement were brought to Penang and Sabah.

A Buyers- Sellers Meet and Seminars on branding and networking opportunities, plus a gala fashion show where the Kuala Lumpur International Batik (KLIB) Convention & Exhibitions 2005 was announced, were highlights of the weekend programme held in September 2004.

Batik Week 2004 once again saw a carnival atmosphere with games, fashion shows, concerts featuring popular stars and batik bazaars in malls around the Klang Valley.

Piala Seri Endon: Fashion and Soft Furnishing. A second category was added to the prestigious batik design competition. The number of entries was high in the second year of the competition.

There were many International events and highlights organised by the Malaysia Batik: Crafted for the World movement in 2005.

The year began with a bang! In January, there was An Italian Affair: Batik Expressions, which saw Malaysian batik used by Italian fashion designers. In May, Malaysian batik was shown in The Hague. In June, Malaysian batik was used by Italian designer Mariella Ferrera and made into fabulous beachwear. It was featured on Italian State TV.

In September, Piala Seri Endon winner, Masrina Abdullah collaborated with Italian fashion brand Roberto di Camerimo, resulting in a vibrant range of cocktail and evening dresses that were featured on the Milan catwalk as a part of the Autumn/Winter Fashion show.

In December - the very first Kuala Lumpur International Batik (KLIB) Convention & Exhibition 2005 was held at the Putra World Trade Centre. Batik Week 2005, which had the usual fun, games, fashion show and batik bazaars in malls around the Klang Valley, was held alongside the KLIB.

Yayasan Budi Penyayang initiated the launch of the World Batik Council (WBC), with members from around the world. PENYAYANG CEO, Dato' Leela Mohd Ali, was elected as the first Chairman of the WBC.
A new category was added to the Piala Seri Endon which now had three categories: Fashion, Soft Furnishing and Handicraft.

Sadly, our patron, Tun Endon Mahmood, passed away on 20th of October just before the KLIB 2005. The movement lost a dearly-loved patron and the industry lost a valuable champion. The then Prime Minister Tun Abdullah bin Ahmad Badawi took over the patronage of the Malaysia Batik: Crafted for the World Movement so that the work of the late Tun Endon would continue.

2006 Malaysia Batik Goes Global

For Phase 4, spanning 2006 and 2007, our theme was Malaysia Batik Goes Global. The work to bring Malaysian batik overseas continued with a visit to Bahrain, where batik was utilised by well-known local fashion designers for some of their creations.
In May 2006, batik workshops were held for kids in Penang at the Seri Endon Victory Ventures Camps to discover batik and express themselves creatively in teams. All paintings exhibited were donated to Cancerlink.

Cancerlink Cancer Champs were also held in May. Batik was utilised as therapy for cancer survivors in this program held at Fraser's Hill, which had 84 participants. The paintings were later exhibited during Batik Week 2006.
