Abstract

The textiles industries in Terengganu had been showcased as important commodities that boost the development of the economic and social development of the Malay community in Terengganu. It was considered as a fixed deposit on the state’s income and contribution list. The industry emerged during the reign of Sultan Mansor Shah I (1733-1794). Based on the facts above, this paper would try to attempt to investigate and discuss the viability of the textile industry in Terengganu and how far the industry had contributed to the state’s economy before the World War II. In realizing the ambitions and goals in the industry, the stakeholders need to take proactive measures to fuel and galvanize the industry. With the right support and tools, more job opportunities are created to cater to the needs of the locals and to showcase the heritage right to its place of origin. And in line with the development of the textile industry, the Textile and Dyeing Factory was established by the state government (the pre-war period) to support the industry and to make it more marketable and bringing profit to all.
