Batu Gajah boy, Malaysia’s pride: Lat’s House celebrates cartoonists’s legacy

Galeri Rumah Lat is located at Jalan Bemban in Batu Gajah.

BATU Gajah does not usually register on the tourist radar but this might change with the launch of Galeri Rumah Lat (Lat’s House Gallery) that showcases the artworks of the iconic cartoonist.

Located in Jalan Bemban, a five-minute drive from Kellie’s Castle, the gallery was officially opened last month by Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, who also bestowed the title of Seniman Diraja (Royal Artist) on the cartoonist, whose real name is Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid.
