'Selamat datang': free entry to the Rumah Lat gallery until early September

'I’m happy to see children and local visitors come from far away to see my work. If possible, let the tickets be cheap, affordable for all of them,' says cartoonist Datuk Lat, who is enjoying meeting visitors at the Rumah Lat gallery in Batu Gajah, Perak. Photo: Bernama

Visitors to the Rumah Lat gallery in Batu Gajah, Perak will be able to enjoy free admission - until September - to view legendary cartoonist Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid’s works featured there.

The cartoonist, who better known as Lat, expressed hope that the gallery will make entry fees affordable to visitors once the free admission period ends, as many of them were local families and children who appreciated his works of art and could enjoy the uniqueness of Rumah Bumbung Lima or Rumah Limas, which showcases his life’s work.
