“Sambar deer in Klang Forrest”
2026, Klang, Malaysia
This mural is a poetic interpretation of Klang’s history, culture, nature, and collective memory. It depicts the native sambar deer—once featured in the symbol of Klang city—set within a forest landscape inspired by the park adjacent to the Palace of the Sultan of Selangor.
The composition also incorporates traditional medicinal herbs that I learned about from local communities, reflecting the region’s knowledge and connection to nature.
The mural is painted in a predominantly monochromatic palette of red and white, with subtle touches of yellow reflecting the colours associated with Selangor.
It is completed with a gentle presence of sakura flowers and petals falling through the Klang forest, symbolising friendship and cultural exchange between Malaysia and Japan.
The project was produced by
@wallbattlemalaysia together with
@wallshare as a co producer
As a cultural exchange project between Japan and Malaysia.

In April 2026 I got to visit and paint mural at Klang, Malaysia, during the residency I got to meet
@mameko_maeda @kac_one from Japan, they also painted at the same time on the near by location. And also I met the
@wallbattlemalaysia crew and they helped and assisted the painting production!
@danielwasjusthere @andi_syafie @faez_rauzan @firdausmoses @afqaffy @yaulacap between the painting, we got to share some food, ideas, and stories.
