If your home state were a Hollywood blockbuster, what would it be? Would it pack a punch like Thomas Wee’s martial arts epic The Kelate Kid, or go intergalactic like Fatin Zamawi’s Alor Setar Wars?

Just in time for Malaysia Day, local pop culture brand APOM (A Piece of Malaysia), famous for its cheeky merch, has rallied artists from every state for the fourth edition of the #EmpatBelas exhibition. Their mission? Turn hometown pride into movie poster magic. Grab your popcorn – this is Malaysia, but with a cinematic twist!
