Looking through the works of local artist Shin Pui San is like taking a trip in a very adorable time machine. Many of her drawings depict local heritage scenes, done up in a distinct cartoonish style that is both whimsical and detailed.

One of her most well-known works is an illustrated tale of the tale of Yap Ah Loy, done for the heritage tour organisation Kaki Jelajah Warisan (which she co-founded) in 2015. The artist spent half a year on this project, which depicts the story of Kuala Lumpur’s founder.
