Where creativity rules the roost


Students of Han Chiang High School in Penang watching intently as Choy (in yellow) does a live demonstration of his Chinese ink paintings.

In recent weeks, the 53-year-old has come up with hundreds of pieces depicting roosters, hens and their chicks in various poses and settings.
