KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 (Bernama) -- Manulife Malaysia has taken a bold step to recognise Malaysia’s upcoming local artists by dedicating its largest advertising asset at the Muzium Negara MRT Station to local artists.

The company will be showcasing different artwork every six months by collaborating with budding local artists, starting with Emila Yusof, who is a multi-award winning Malaysian illustrator, author and artist.

The launch of the Art Installation at the Muzium Negara MRT Station revealed the illustration depicting local heritage and culture, which is reflective of Muzium Negara. Emila Yusof’s painting was done amidst a backdrop featuring a typical Kampung (Village) setting.
