The exhibit’s goal is to recognise the important role that the local cartoon industry had played in preserving the country’s cultural and heritage.
Rows of caricatures paid homage to various historic Malaysian icons, from past prime ministers to beloved badminton star Datuk Lee Chong Wei to legendary Malay warrior Hang Tuah as they lined a newly launched art exhibition in Kuala Lumpur.
From the Merdeka rally cry by Malaysia's first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj in 1957 to Tunku’s equally iconic fist-raised car ride to Malacca to announce the country’s independence in 1956, Malaysians will be able to relive the iconic moments in history through the cartoon-style art at the exhibit.
"These cartoons have become a national heritage through their ability to incite a sense of unifying patriotism within any Malaysian, especially youths, who look at them. The National Unity Ministry, in a press statement on Monday, added that the exhibit’s goal was to recognise the important role that the local cartoon industry had played in preserving the country’s cultural and heritage.
Also at the exhibit is a showcase of a collection of cover pages from cartoon and comic magazines that were once popular in Malaysia such as Batu Api, Buletin Lubok, Politik Kedai Kopi and many others.
