Artistic expression in public areas

While murals, such as the one in Tanjung Piai, Johor are seen in a more positive light than graffiti found in Kuala Lumpur, both are forms of street art that can be used for positive messaging.

GRAFFITI on the walls along the streets of Malaysia may make some people feel uncomfortable because it looks like an act of vandalism or protest.

This is because it is often associated with the culture of rebellion and often considered or perceived as illegal.
