Breaking Stigmas with MyParang

The word parang rings differently for most people but not for the individual behind MyParang. As an artisanal parang brand, MyParang lives up to its brand's DNA by involving locals in its production process, while at the same time educating its community with knowledge on parangs and goloks. Founder of MyParang, Ahmad Nadir gives us a 101 lesson on parangs and shares his journey being an artisanal blacksmith.
