    SONGKOK

    • The songkok (also called peci or kopiah) is a cap


    widely worn in Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore,
    the southern Philippines, and southern Thailand, mostly
    among Muslim males in formal gatherings such as
    wedding feasts, funerals, or festive occasions such as the
    Muslim Eidul-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The songkok came to
    be associated with the nationalist secular movement.
