BATU GAJAH: It was a momentous day for Lat, the man who is so much a part of the Malaysian psyche, when he found out that he has been honoured with the title Seniman Diraja (Royal Artist) at the opening of his very own gallery.
“I was in disbelief but I felt happy,” he said of the recognition, which was announced yesterday by Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah when he graced the opening of the Lat House Gallery in Jalan Bemban, about 5km away from Kellie’s Castle.
