GEORGETOWN :

Together with the Penang Art District, the Penang State Art Gallery is organising the project "COVID-19 Heroes, Those Who Made a Different Difference for Penang" to appreciate the frontliners who made a difference during this Covid-19 pandemic for the people of Penang.

Penang State Art Gallery Chairman Lee Khai said that everyone can nominate a frontliner who is not just from the medical sector but also from those who have contributed to the state in other ways. The candidate could be one who also offered food and drinks to those who were in need at the moment.

"The nominees may be a foreigner who made a difference to Penang during Covid-19, so 50 nominees will be nominated for Dr. Kim Wei Kium 's artwork as a token of appreciation," he said today during a press conference at the State Art Gallery.

This project was initiated to show appreciation towards the frontliners.

Dr. Kim Wei Kium said she wanted to do something because her son was one of the frontliner who was together in the battle to fight COVID-19.

"My son is a lab technician at a private hospital, and at that time it was a critical time for me, and I wanted to do something for the frontliners, as I saw how hard it was for my son throughout that time, and that's when I decided to come with this series of paintings that are the "Moonsoon Series," she said.

The candidate could be an individual or an organisation. The explanation of 200 words about how the candidate made a difference needs to be explained in any language. 50 nominees will be chosen and honored at the award ceremony and exhibition to be held in 2021.

Nominees can be nominated in the below website from 11 September 2020 until 11 November 2020.
