Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali said this effort could encourage the wearing of Malaysian batik by civil servants showing off its uniqueness and beauty and its wearing should not be limited to the workplace and official functions.
"There is a high demand for batik among civil servants as they are required to wear the attire every Thursday in order to dignify the wearing of Malaysian batik.

"Raifili wishes to share its joy with the civil servants and is hoping that its campaign of making its exclusive batik with the Malaysian modern batik motifs as their fashion choice.
"Since our in-house campaign launched in March this year, over 300,000 civil servants have received free batik and many praised our exclusive batik fabric as soft, beautiful, comfortable to wear, non-fading, not easily creased and easy to iron," she added,
She also said that the balance of almost 700,000 free batik pieces that had not been redeemed by the civil servants could be obtained via www.1jutabatikpercuma.raifili.com or by contacting Raifili’s authorised distributors across the country.
