The Perak Ruler said Mohd Nor - fondly known as Lat - caricatures reveal the truth of living in a multiracial society.
BATU GAJAH: Perak’s Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah has bestowed the title of"Seniman Diraja" or Royal Artist on famous cartoonist Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid, who he praised for highlighting multiculturalism in his caricatures.
"He emphasises the shared experiences of these multi-ethnic members of society; from the joy felt in wedding ceremonies to the exuberance of festive celebrations, to being in a school environment, or getting caught in traffic jams, to enjoying food at a restaurant, among others," said Sultan Nazrin. "His simple sketches were perfected through his experience, displaying a wisdom and intellectual acuity that invited neither conflict nor hostility.
Sultan Nazrin said that the Lat House Gallery does not only show the history of the life of an artist but also records the various achievements of a"village boy" who become a"town boy". "As the legacy of this great artist ought to be handed down to the heirs of our nation, the youth, let this gallery be also, a treasure beyond value to its citizens," he said.
