On last Saturday Oct10,2009 I pay a visit and take a photo art & carpentry make kris,parang at a exhibition in conjunction of Malaysia Day in Kuching waterfront.
"Pak Ali manufacture of Iron" or in Malay "Pak Ali Pandai Besi".I have time to ask why he used the term 'IRON' He said the title was adopted by the public to create a skilled craftsman iron kris,It make up work such as welding steel such as the title does not apply because the public can make a work that way.Instead work to iron kris is a traditional art that is rarely owned.
His real name is En Ghazali bin Mohd Noor he come from Trengganu and he owned a workshop in Trengganu.Pak Ali are friendly,kindness and humility language.
