If you need a little reminder this Malaysia Day about what makes Malaysia so us, look no further than Balai Seni Maybank’s Hari-Hari Malaysia: A Collection Of Wordless Comics Celebrating Independence And Nationhood 2022.

The familiar imagery is all here, reunited under one roof - the Jalur Gemilang hoisted high and waving in the breeze; the national flower, the bunga raya (hibiscus); a multiracial community in traditional attire, sharing food at the same table.
