Chin Kon Yit no longer feels safe to sketch outdoors ever since he was mugged in broad daylight while sketching Pudu Prison in Kuala Lumpur a few years ago. The thieves took his watch and money. Thankfully, they left him unhurt.

“That time, thieves will just ask for your wallet. But nowadays, they don’t only rob you, they also hit you,” he laments, 65, in an interview in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
