I was in a small town in West Malaysia when I saw these baskets in a florist shop. Most of these baskets are made from a vine called rattan.
To school kids growing up in Malaysia and Singapore, the word rattan can send a shiver up one's spine. Teachers used to have a thin rattan with them to beat the students. People think that the smaller the cane, the more painful it can be. But I was told that a big rattan used by the prison officers can break skin and flesh.
