Victory at Lunar Peaks

Uncategorized Add comments

We’d like to congratulate national laureate Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal on winning his court case against the Mayor of KL last Friday, and to the courts for their enlightened decision on this landmark case for the Malaysian artist community. The Mayor of KL has been ordered to pay RM750,000 to Datuk Syed for “damages on infringement of moral rights” following the massive alteration of the artist’s Lunar Peaks sculpture (commissioned by UMBC Harta Sdn Bhd in 1985) at Jalan Bandar without his consent. Read the reports in Malaysian Digest and The Star.

We salute Datuk Syed and Datin Hamidah and their legal team for their perseverance. What now for Lunar Peaks however?
