THE impending release of Birds Of Malaysia: An Artist’s Love --- a book featuring original watercolour paintings by Yeow Teck Chai --- marks another feather in the cap for the former civil servant.

The hardcover book, showcasing some 130 prints of Yeow’s artworks, is intended to highlight the rich varieties of birds in Malaysia across diverse habitats such as highlands, lowlands, coasts and wetlands.
