In Malaysia, we call elderly men "uncle" as a sign of respect, eventhough
they are not related to us. This street art was almost erased by the local
municipality in Ipoh, Perak, as it had a resemblance to a former communist
leader called Chin Peng.
Ipoh town is famous for their brand of roasted coffee called Ipoh White Coffee,
which comes from their different roasting method. Ernest Zacharevic
who made Penang more colourful with his street art has painted a few new
murals in Ipoh. Can't wait to see more of them!
Thanks to Solehah for this lovely card!
