Facing the climate @ Ikano Power Station Malaysia


Facing the climate is a cartoon / comic exhibition @ Ikano from Oct 10-17th 2010. This event is held in conjunction of the Stockholm environmental conference. There are cartoonist from Sweden and Malaysia. I was invited by my friend Sheldon (one of the cartoonist from Malaysia) to attend this opening ceremony. This was a nice and simple exhibition/events to build the awareness of how important we need to conserve our environment.

As the theme is about global warming, go green, conserve energy etc... all the comics/cartoons that exhibit in this event was about saving environment... I managed to capture some pictures via iPhone during the ceremony.

Simple traditional Leather puppet show 
on describing how important to conserve our environment

Everyone was very focus on the performance

Datuk Lat kick start the live drawing session

Anyone know which character is Dato Lat's drawing?
Sheldon (my friend) drew the Panquin

The cartoon that drawn during the open ceremony by 7 famous cartoonist a.k.a the picture above was auctioned in the event. Guess how much this piece of art work sold? The starting price was RM500.


There is a board that encourage all of us to post our suggestion on how to contribute on saving the environment...  I found the below two messages very interesting especially the first one...

Not a very green person myself. But hey, I take LRT to work, that means I'm a lot greener than a lot of people already, right?
