  "account": "Kuala Krai tailor Aimi Aidora Ramli is keeping busy during the National Day and Malaysia Day season. Known for her vibrant outfits inspired by the Jalur Gemilang, Aimi's creations have become a popular choice for parents looking for distinctive attire for school celebrations, competitions, and themed programmes. Her business has expanded beyond patriotic outfits to include traditional clothing representing Malaysia's diverse communities, with many pieces available for rent during the National Month. Aimi's motivation stems from her love of sewing, her desire to foster patriotism among young Malaysians, and highlighting the cultural unity of the Malaysian community. Prices for her outfits range from RM45 to RM65, depending on the design and pattern. Demand peaks around National Day and continues through Malaysia Day, with Aimi projecting steady orders until mid-September. While she also takes orders for decorative flower arrangements, during National Month, children's outfits are her main focus. For many parents, the allure lies in the opportunity to provide a colorful, unique, and unmistakably Malaysian ensemble for their children.",
