#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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
