Inspired by an eerie urban legend from 1980s Ipoh, the new graphic novel Bleeding Scars: The Calamity Of Canning digs up the mysterious events that led to the abrupt closure of a beloved chee cheong fun stall in Canning Garden.
Blending nostalgia with suspense, the novel reimagines the haunting tale that left the local community shaken and turned a simple food stall into the stuff of legend.
