Plaiting is one of the most favourite local activities done by the female population in Brunei Darussalam. Although the purpose is only to kill the time, some of them do take plaiting seriously as a source of earning. There are numerous products of plaiting ranging from nyiru (basket) to tikar (mat).
Nyiru
It is an equipment to separate rice from paddy during rice cultivation. It is made from rotan (stem from a slender palm) and the frame is made from *salingkawang, *rotan peladis, *rotan manuk, or *tamanit.
*different types of rotan
