Title : Dr Mahathir contributions 2003

In conjuction with the retirement of our Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir in year 2003. A group of Illustrator were gathered together to come out a series of 23 paintings that illustrate Dr. Mahathir's contribution to Malaysia in his 23 years of leading the country. To show our appreciation to his leading in these years. Each painting represent a year and I was doing year 2003 which is the final year of his service.
The hardest part of producing this painting is not just the tide deadline and the size of the painting . It is about the content of my painting because he haven't retire while I producing the artwork and new events and archievement keep on coming everyday. I have to add on the painting even when it was framed and about to exhibited in few days time due to the new award Dr. M recieved from Germany right before his retirement.
