Abstract

This study examines the historical development of Pahang's weaving industry and the influence of the Royal Institution. With a 300-year history, this industry is vital to Malay cultural identity. Utilizing qualitative methods, the research highlights the pivotal roles of HRH Tengku Ampuan Meriam in 1904 and HRH Tengku Puan Pahang Tunku Hajah Azizah in the industry's revival and growth. The conferment of the "Diraja" title in 2006 reinforced its cultural significance. This research underscores the enduring importance of Tenun Pahang Diraja (TPD) in Pahang's cultural and economic landscape.
