The traditional Malay school uniform, also known as "pakaian kurung," consists of a long-sleeved white shirt, a long skirt or pants, and a songkok (a traditional Malay cap). This attire was initially designed for male students, while female students wore a similar outfit with a few modifications. The uniform was meant to promote modesty, respect, and a sense of belonging among students.
