Graffiti art at Merdeka Square at Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia in 2005

This picture is taken when we were travelling in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We were visiting the Merdeka (Freedom) Square when we chance upon this very unique graffiti of the most influential man in modern Malaysian history. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was the longest serving Prime Minister in Malaysia. He spearheaded  a change and set the tempo to drive growth in Malaysia. He was the one who came up with the vision of making Malaysia a developed country by 2020. Dr Mahathir was the architect of many large-scale national projects like the once tallest building of the world, the Petronas Towers, which he helped design, the North-South Highway that links Thailand to Singapore and many more.

It was interesting to find this picture near the Merdeka Square. Don’t you think?

We’re in the midst of  a wonderful trip to Malacca, Kuala Lumpur and Penang in Malaysia at the moment. We have loads to share (especially on food), so stay tuned!
