Have you read ‘Kampung Boy’?
It’s hard to convey Lat’s standing in his own country. In 1994, he was granted the honorary title of Datuk by the Malaysian Government. His cartoons are seen regularly in the national newspaper, a film and TV series of Kampung Boy was made in 1997. Malaysia has even issued postage stamps of his Kampung Boy drawings, and AirAsia has decorated one of its Boeing 737s in his honour.
