Mural painting is a way of expressing how talented your hands are. You’ll never know how many people were, is and will be amazed by your creative works. In Malaysia, the popular creator of street art is Ernest Zacharevic, who made six murals for Penang’s George Town Culture festival. Those paintings become so popular that he was even called the Banksy of Malaysia.
As of these days, there are so many cities and countries that are following the footsteps of Penang. And Johor has got some incredibly and breathtakingly beautiful street murals.

Kelapa Sawit Kulai Johor Mural started two years ago when Kelapa Sawit Javert held “Let’s Art At Sawit” as a preparation for the National Day celebration in Johor. It was a campaign that aims to hone the talent of the people in the local communities. It is also a way to welcome the celebration in Johor. At that time, only painters are invited for the mural art. Unexpectedly, this caused the interest of the local villagers about the fresco. Under the supervision and guidance of the painters, the villagers volunteered to paint as many as 30 murals with the theme “Hakka Culture”, which become the inspiration of the villagers to paint.
See these meaningful murals in the street of Kelapa Sawit Kulai Johor!
