Attention urban adventurers: did you know that Malaysia is home to some of the most Instagrammable street art in the world?
Malaysia’s bustling capital cities are bringing vibrant colours and playful themes to their alleyways and building facades with the help of its thriving urban art scene.
Street art is not new in Malaysia. Graffiti was prominent on the streets of city centres in the 60s and 70s as a medium for protest and has been posing challenges to the conventional art world and property and ownership laws since.
Just a decade ago, graffiti was viewed as vandalism and artists faced hefty fines if they were caught, but now local authorities are fans of the colourful murals and even commission artists to jazz up urban spaces.

THE STAR – A mural of an old Indian woman with hands clasped to indicate gratitude has generated a lot of buzz.
Nestled in a quiet corner between Lorong Lumut and Lebuh Toh Aka in George Town, Penang, the mural is a subtle nod to local culture.
Visitors have been flocking to the 1.5m-high mural by Russian artist Julia Volchkova.
Created in December 2015, the mural was inspired by an old Indian fortune teller woman.
Volchkova’s special assistant Tan Chor Whye said Volchkova noticed the fortune teller while looking for inspiration around Little India in the heritage enclave.
“When she was in Penang six years ago, she noticed the Indian woman’s movements and mannerisms. She was saying ‘thank you’ with her hands clasped.
