Mersing Souvenir House
Cultural Practice
Produces handmade souvenirs that reflect Mersing’s local identity, including fishing village traditions, island marine life, flora and fauna, and Malaysia cultural motifs. The crafts allow visitors to experience local stories through meaningful souvenirs.
Heritage Preservation
Preserves intangible cultural heritage by involving local women, traditional artisans, and persons with disabilities in craft-making. It also functions as a living museum and workshop where traditional skills are passed down and shared with visitors.
Environmental Protection
Uses locally sourced, natural, recycled, and upcycled materials such as driftwood, scrap materials, recyclables, local flowers, seashells, and sand. It avoids single-use plastics by using recycled paper bags and natural fibre wrapping.
Community Prosperity
Creates income opportunities for local residents, especially women, youth, traditional artisans, and persons with disabilities. Tourism spending from souvenirs flows back into the village economy and supports families.
Knowledge Pursuit
Conducts training workshops to upskill community members in craft techniques and sustainable production methods, building local capacity and encouraging the younger generation to learn craft skills.
