In artist Shaq Koyok's latest artwork Malok, Hak Kan Nik? (Where Are Our Rights?), an old man in traditional headgear stands with his arms reaching out in a questioning manner. The expression on his face manages to be both sad and defiant: a look that will undoubtedly stay with the viewer for a while.
Shaq reveals that the man is Aban Anjang, a 90-year old from the indigenous Temiar tribe from Gua Musang in Kelantan.
