Selangor Ruler buys painting depicting primates, frogs in Dewan Rakyat


KLANG: Mesmerised by a painting he had come across, Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin decided to buy the work of art to be displayed in his private study room.

The colourful painting set in the Malaysian Parliament depicted a man closely resembling Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun presiding over a roomful of primates and frogs.

Both the primates and frogs, which were of various species, appeared to be creating a ruckus.

According to a post by the Selangor Royal Office Instagram account, Sultan Sharafuddin hoped to auction off the painting and channel the proceeds towards charity.
