Dr Rebecca George paints on porcelain to help kids with cancer

A doctor who spent most of her life caring for children is now reaching out to them in a different way.

Big blue roses trail down the side of a jug, a cluster of grapes sits pretty on a plate, and across the room, a fish leaps into the air. These are among the porcelain pieces painted by Puan Sri Datin Dr Rebecca George in the last 15 years. “I’ve liked painting ever since I was a little girl,” the youthful-looking 80-year-old says, sharing that she has tried her hand at many artistic pursuits, including Chinese ink painting, oil painting and painting on fabric that were then made into dresses.
