Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

Image
after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings.

Most of them concentrating on forgetting on what they have. All values will change according to time. Each has it's own variables. We know when we are born but we dont know when is the exact date and time on when we going to kick the bucket. If we know this, the world will be a better place as people no longer will waste their time, the world would be a fulfilling place.  The govt counters will be operational, politicians no longer taking in on what they shouldn't have.

We no longer need to suffer in waiting.  So whatever savings or actions taken when you are alive, can it be your refuge when you are in the grave?
