Nation's visual arts...

The National Art Gallery of Malaysia has collected some 3,700 pieces of artworks since it was set-up in 1958. Its collection are artworks by some of Malaysia's most distinguished painters who laid the foundations of what is known as modern art in the country. Three of these works have been selected and depicted as stamps which were released today in honour of the country's arts. They are 'Semangat Ledang' (Spirit of Ledang/Syed Ahmad Jamal 2003), 'Musim Buah' (Fruits Season/Chuah Thean Teng 1968) and 'Pago-pago' (Abdul Latiff Mohidin 1965)
