: The Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah today announced the country’s famous cartoonist Lat whose real name is Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid, as Royal Artist .
He said treasures on display at Lat House Gallery are hoped to be a source of inspiration for the people, especially among young Malaysians. Sultan Nazrin said through simple sketches Lat managed to highlight sharp observations about the life of a plural society living in harmony. “His work carries a clear message that people of diverse backgrounds instinctively live in peace and harmony in a spirit of mutual respect; diverse people do not harbour prejudice towards one another due to their differences in race, religious beliefs, cultural practices, and language proficiency.
His Royal Highness said that Lat’s observation of life’s vibrance has been encapsulated through his popular works such as ‘Kampung Boy’ and ‘Town Boy’ which are prime examples of his detailed observations on issues encompassing rural and urban life. Sultan Nazrin said that Lat’s works reflect his personal views and analysis on various issues, touching on the lives of ordinary people such as bus drivers, taxi drivers, traffic police, customs and immigration officers, doctors and nurses, judges and lawyers, sports figures and national leaders, covering issues on the local, national and international front.
