A fascination for colours is what helped Vishan Rajasekaran earn an entry into the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) for Most Number of International Flags Identified in 15 Minutes By a Child.

The four-year-old from Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan, who is only just learning to read and write, successfully identified the flags of 147 countries within that time, a feat that may prove challenging even for adults.
