No longer a popular seat


Fewer visitors are patronising the ‘Boy on Chair’ mural due to ongoing construction work nearby.

THE number of visitors making a beeline for snapshots beside one of the more photographed murals in George Town, ‘Boy on Chair’, has dwindled lately — no thanks to ongoing construction work near the building where the mural is painted on.

Thousands of visitors used to mimic the boy’s cheeky act of reaching up to grab the toilet air vent of the prewar building at Cannon Street, but the place now has become an eyesore as the piece of land beside the building is filled with rubble.
