PETALING JAYA: After the Jalur Gemilang and PKR flags, now 'Baju Melayu' ( traditional Malay outfit for men) has made it to the World Cup.

The Perak-born lad said he wanted to show off the outfit to the world and thought what better venue than the World Cup in Russia, where supporters from all across the world gathered to support their favourite team.
Apart from Jalur Gemilang and Perak flags, his also bought a Russian fur hat to take the place of a 'songkok' to go with his outfit.
"True enough, people were curious and wondered what I was wearing," he said, adding that he was there with his relatives and a friend since Sunday.
Putra said during the Portugal v Morocco match, a Russian television crew had interviewed him and asked about his outfit and experience there.
"I was nervous but excited at the same time but I manage to explain to them what I was wearing." he said.
Putra said his "Russian adventure" ends on June 24.
A few days ago, a photograph of Jalur Gemilang and PKR flags spotted at one of the games has gone viral on social media. It showed Senegal's coach Aliou Cisse looking on during their match against Poland.
