There’s A Mural In Shah Alam Dedicated To Malaysia’s Heroes!

It’s been a really tough year for our country’s leaders and frontliners since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic hit our country.

They have worked selflessly and tirelessly, risking their own lives every single day just to keep us all safe from the virus ...and those efforts have not gone unnoticed by Malaysians.

One local artist from Terengganu, Suhaimi Ali shared on his Facebook page, a mural which consisted of prominent Malaysian leaders. 

Among them is KDYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Health Director-General Datuk Dr. Noor Hisham, as well as Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri and Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Senator Datuk Dr. Haji Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri. 

Suhaimi dedicated his artwork to our national heroes, to show thanks to the leaders who have worked very hard in our battle against the pandemic. He captioned his post: “Leaders become great not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.”

Amazing job, Suhaimi! 

According to The Star, Suhaimi was assisted by his friends, Abdul Hadi Ramli and Firdaus Nordin, and it took them two weeks to complete the portraits. 

“This is how my friends and I express our gratitude towards the country’s leaders and the frontliners because when the COVID-19 first hit, they were the ones who did much to make sure the people were protected from the infection,” he told BERNAMA. 

He also said that he planned to paint other personalities like the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee, actor and comedian Datuk Aziz Sattar, and S. Shamsuddin. 

The mural turned out so beautiful, and we’re excited to see the outcome of your next project. Kudos, Suhaimi!
