Loving Sisters Mural (11 September, 2016)


The Loving Sisters Mural (GPS: 2.04833, 102.57163) is a large wall mural in Muar, Johor. It graces a wall beside Veej Uniforms Concept Store at Jalan Arab, near Bulatan Jalan Bakri. The mural was painted by 28-year-old Russian mural artist Julia Volchkova. Sponsored by Aking Advertising & Signcraft Sdn Bhd, a local advertising agency, the mural measures close to 12 meters tall by 10 meters wide, and was completed in ten days, on 17 July, 2016.

The Loving Sisters mural was painted with two young local girls as the subject. They are 7-year-old Nur Najwa and her 3-year-old sister Nur Najiyah Amani, whom Volchkova met when she was at Dataran Tanjung Emas.

The mural was officiated by Datuk Tee Siew Kiong, the Johor State Executive Committee Member in charge of Tourism, Commerce and Consumerism on 18 July, 2016. That same day it was inscribed in the Malaysia Book of Records as the biggest portrait mural in the country.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
