JOHOR BARU: “Kita Jaga Kita” (We take care of each other), which is Malaysia’s slogan in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as images of frontliners, are among the important messages immortalised in a giant mural fronting Columbia Asia Hospital – Tebrau here.

The 152.4m-wide and 6m-high mural is the product of two local painters – Iskandar Noor Rahim, 41, and Muhamad Razali Abd Aziz, 36 – as well as an assistant.

The mural is also part of an initiative by the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry, National Art Gallery and National Disaster Management Agency in conjunction with the Covid-19’s “Embracing New Norms” campaign aimed at raising awareness of the virus and honouring the services of frontliners in six zones across the country.
