00:00When we go to the mosque, we wear sungkuk, we don't wear niqab or tanjak, do you understand?

00:04When we pray, we wear sungkuk.

00:07But why is the level of sungkuk at the bottom?

00:14Sungkuk is not just a head cover, but a symbol of Malay culture and heritage.

00:20From a small shop to the hands of a famous person,

00:22the name Masu'ud Hussein, which is located in Muah Johor,

00:26is now one of the exclusive sungkuk names in Malaysia.

00:31For the owner and maker of Masu'ud Hussein's sungkuk, Nur Dalila Abdul Ghani,

00:36the decision to continue the legacy of his great-grandfather's sungkuk business,

00:39which was originally just to pay off his debts,

00:41is now a pillar in the effort to promote sungkuk.

00:46My sister was raised by my great-grandfather and my grandmother.

00:49They took care of her since she was a child.

00:51So, every day, we would see them making sungkuk.

00:56In the beginning, it was like forced labor.

00:58So, we had to do it willingly.

00:59When I took care of the shop,

01:01when my mother said she liked it,

01:03she would say, yes, we can make sungkuk.

01:05But when she was a child, when she wore sungkuk,

01:07my standard would fall.

01:09It was like that.

01:10So, when I saw it like that,

01:11it gave me an inspiration,

01:14it gave me an intention to promote this sungkuk.

01:21That was the turning point when Dalila rebuilt the legacy sungkuk business

01:27with the renaissance using the name of his great-grandfather,

01:31which was Masu'ud Hussein,

01:33producing sungkuk with various innovations,

01:35combining classic and modern elements.

01:40So, in the sungkuk, I would process it.

01:43From folding sungkuk,

01:45which used to be hard sungkuk,

01:46to soft folding sungkuk,

01:47we would process and innovate the sungkuk

01:50so that it can be used for travel and make it easier.

01:53But when it's opened, it's like a regular sungkuk.

01:57From just a small shop to a palace,

01:59Masu'ud Hussein's sungkuk has received special gifts

02:02from Sultan Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar,

02:06and former Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Baddawi,

02:08Widi Yasin, and the head of the Melaka State,

02:12Muhammad Ali Muhammad Rustaq.

02:14When I made the sungkuk for the Sultan,

02:17the Sultan of Johor, who is our pride now,

02:19the design was only for me.

02:21And we took from what he said,

02:25we processed it.

02:26It means we have to use our imagination.

02:28So, we feel proud

02:31because the addition is only once in a lifetime.

02:36Year after year,

02:37Dalilah and her husband, Zahid Zakaria,

02:40are busy preparing the sungkuk,

02:42which is sold for RM15 to RM400.

02:46Some even sell for RM3,000

02:48depending on the ingredients and special ingredients.

02:51High demands, especially during the festive season,

02:54push sales to RM30,000 per unit per year.

02:59Because it's been a year,

03:01they think it's like Eid clothes,

03:04they make it in less than a minute, right?

03:05But we have a lot of ingredients,

03:07so we have to push it.

03:10When we push it, the next year,

03:12after Eid, we continue to order.

03:14Until I stopped it at the end of January

03:19because it was already packed.

03:22However, for Dalilah,

03:23this business is not just a source of wealth,

03:26but a trust to ensure the legacy of her great-grandfather's sungkuk

03:29remains relevant through the ages.

03:33After I rebranded it with its name,

03:36I felt like,

03:37Allah, the deceased must have felt proud.

03:41Because its name has been recognized,

03:43not only in Malaysia,

03:45but also outside Malaysia.

03:50We from Sungkuk Masarusin

03:52wish you a happy Eid,

03:55with all our hearts and souls.
