All state civil servants (ASN) and honorary officials of the Sorong Regency Government (Pemkab) in Southwest Papua (PBD) are required to wear Papuan Batik Motifs from the Moi Tribe.

Acting Regent of Sorong Yan Piet Mosso said this effort also builds a love for local products so that sustainability is not swallowed up by the times. "This method is one of our efforts to build a culture of local product love and at the same time preserve our culture," said Yan Piet in Sorong, PBD, Monday, July 24, which was confiscated by Antara.

Batik Suku Moi for ASN Sorong must be used every Thursday. "Because we work in Tanah Moi, we must respect this culture legally," he added. For this reason, the Sorong Regency Government will issue regulations so that the realization of the implementation of the use of Papuan Batik has a clear legal basis. "We will make regulations so that the use of batik can be carried out optimally by every ASN and honorary, after that it only runs," he said.

In addition, he also advised all people in the area to take part in the use of Papuan Batik. "People can also use Papuan Batik according to their respective schedules, so that we both cultivate our love for culture and also participate in preserving that culture," he said.
