TUN M AND TUN SITI’S LEGO MURAL UNVEILED AT CAROUSELL’S “SAYANGI MALAYSIAKU” LEGO ART EXHIBITION IN SUNWAY PYRAMID
As Malaysians celebrate the country’s 61st independence day, Carousell, Republic of Bricks (ROB) and Sunway Pyramid Mall unveiled an array of unique murals built entirely from LEGO bricks celebrating our country.
Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah’s LEGO
mural is the highlight of the exhibition, beginning today to Sunday, 2
September 2018 at LG2, Central Avenue, Sunway Pyramid.
18 unique LEGO
mosaics will also be on
display, featuring interesting Malaysian moments, culture and sceneries,
coupled with LEGO-themed activities for visitors by Carousell. LEGO fans can
also connect with LEGO collectors across Malaysia on Carousell.
“The LEGO builders and fans have long traded and exchanged
ideas via our platform and we in turn focus on creating authentic relationships
with our communities. Naturally, Merdeka is the perfect opportunity for us to
engage the LEGO fan community while celebrating 61 years of independence which
highlights their creativity,” said Tang Siew Wai, Country Head of Carousell
Malaysia.
“Sunway Pyramid has always been a strong supporter of the
creative arts, advocating a variant of artists to display their pieces in our
mall. Our collaboration with Carousell and ROB is part of our continuous efforts
to offer a variety of activities to our shoppers especially on this very
significant Merdeka celebration,” said Amy Hoo Ooi Mei, Senior Manager -
Marketing of Sunway Pyramid.
“Matching different LEGO pieces to build this mural
resembles the diversification of our culture and races living together in peace
and harmony. The murals were built by artists from ROB to convey our love for
our country and promote creativity with bricks. Carousell and Sunway Pyramid
have been supportive partners in developing the community, and we hope that
through this initiative, more will follow suit and develop their interest by
joining our LEGO community on Carousell,” said Zen Chan Yang Shan, President of ROB.
A total of 166,888 pieces of LEGO bricks were used for the portraits displayed at the event, with 9,216 pieces used for Tun M and Tun Siti’s mural which was built by members of ROB.
ROB is a LEGO fan interest and networking group that
focuses on LEGO projects, events and display in Malaysia. Over the years, the
group has gathered LEGO hobbyists across the country to learn and share their
passion. At present, the group has over 1,000 members that consist of
enthusiasts from all walks of life.
