Five resident cats - Oreo, Ginger, Sneaky, Truffles and Tam - regularly greet visitors at the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC).
Starting from yesterday until May 30, visitors will also come across 30 cat standees and 10 others highlighting common Malay proverbs.
All are part of MHC s latest installation on their lawn, Paw-verbs on the Lawn.
The 10 standees showcasing Malay proverbs will highlight how cats are used in Malay literary culture to convey different aspects of human behaviour and impart age-old lessons.
Some of these proverbs include seperti anjing dengan kucing (like a dog with a cat) to reference two people who always quarrel, or malu-malu kucing (like a shy cat) to describe someone pretending to be shy.
