#tanahairku Street Art by Petronas, Kuala Lumpur

The Village and The City, a mural in the Tanahairku series (8 July, 2016)


#tanahairku Street Art is a series of murals sponsored by Petronas in Kuala Lumpur. The project was carried out in conjunction with Malaysia's Merdeka Day celebrations and Malaysia Day celebrations on 31 August and 16 September, 2015, respectively. With the involvement of DNAComm and District Shop Gallery, Petronas pooled together 14 local artists to create six murals to adorn different parts of Kuala Lumpur.

Three cities were selected for this project. In addition to Kuala Lumpur, murals were also painted in Johor Bahru and Kota Kinabalu.



Each mural artist was provided the text from a patriotic poem, and asked to create a mural based on his interpretation of the poem. The six murals are:


One of these murals adorns the side of a disused shophouse along Jalan Raja Chulan at the foot of Bukit Nanas. I will add to this page when I come across the other murals.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
