In recent years, the prevalence of the 3D art, the visual effect is more three-dimensional, real, so that the audience can enjoy not only paintings, but also seems to be able to walk into the painting, play a fun.

In Penang, 3D is not only an art gallery, and today is the city to introduce 3D newly opened Museum of Art, called Penang Trick Art Museum, located in Penang Lane (Lebuh Penang), and vegetarian restaurants "dripping Square" of war before the old house in the same row.

They invested a total of 1.8 million ringgit funds spent six months of preparation, the museum just opened for business on October 25, stage 42 with 3D works, wait Tell me what they experience together.

Feature of the museum is that each piece is hand-painted mural 3D, which is likely to use other 3D printing painting art gallery and different.

To make a richer style of the person in charge to hire 12 artists from home and abroad surgeon, many of whom are local professionals Arts Institute (THE ONE ACADEMY) students prove local talent.

Also, each painting will be consistent to the ground, so that the whole picture which is very Cohesive, but do not like the other 3D museum, as often only take "half-length portrait." Otherwise, the photo will be "Goof" in dilemma.

Variable geometry makes one high and one low

Penang Trick Art Museum to play surprises. There is a room for two people standing side by side pictures.

Hey, how the photo came out, one becomes a giant, one has become a dwarf?

Ask after the original scene in this room playing with the visual illusion of technology, through geometry, law and other means of visual imaging, image-making, visual deceptive conduct deceive the eye.

They have been highly similar, standing on the same platform, and it was "making" into a high, a low, really quite fun.

Painting is dead, people are living, want to play 3 D Museum, the best with a rich imagination, as well as the cells come flamboyant theatrical museum, including your fun.

After "big snake" mural, may wish to lie on the ground, painfully stretched out his hands for help, scream or two, if necessary, play a play quickly engulfed the python look.

In addition, when came to "surf" mural, then you can imagine yourself already living in Taiwan Kenting beach, the embodiment of chic beach boy, arms over their heads, body surfing straight, really handsome earthshaking.

Photo stickers make more realistic reference angle

"Magic World", the photo looks like a magician after being hypnotized, like suspended in the air, staged surgery supernatural.

Make photos more realistic, the organizers wish to refer to the angle provided, they will close arrow stickers on the floor, standing in front of the arrow stickers finder, including correct.

test acting dinosaur attacks

"Dinosaur attacks" mural is the test of individual acting, some people will lie on the ground, "play dead," some people will panic barking. Those who like to play the hero, it may come to a "single-handedly beat the dinosaurs," the drama of it!

Some ladies go the route of the girls, if let go figure lying on the floor to take pictures, it does not matter, because there are many works of this museum is to let u have Sisiwenwen photographed.



Sampan boat scene

Among these, I remember comparing "surname Bridge" painting, the scene really put a sampan boat, let's ride. At that moment, I seem to enter a surname with friends bridge the historical monuments, leisurely cruises, romantic and sentimental experience water of life.

Lightweight dress to complete the task

To this museum fun, best lightweight dress. This is because I walked on, you never know what you may need to lie on the ground, lying down, jumping, to complete the mission.

In future the company will add more busses if there is an increased of demand. Each busses is designed uniquely half open top with the capacity of 60 sitting passengers whereby 27 passengers will be experiencing the outdoor feel on top of the bus. Base on our experience the open deck is a favorite for tourist as tourist can feel and view the island better so it going to on first come first serve sitting arrangements.

The service covers a circle route which are City Route and Beach Route that allows tourists to start the tour and end at the same location. The information and ticket counter that would be the inter link between the City Route and Beach Route will be at Gurney Drive and Chowrasta Market.

What is Ice Bucket Challenge? It has gone viral in the social media recently. Many artists, businessman, politician and people around United States already took part. The Ice Bucket Challenge is a social-media-driven fundraising stunt that has people dumping buckets of ice water over their heads, making videos of themselves doing it and challenging others to do the same all in the name of raising money for charity.

The ALS Association has received $22.9 million from the Ice Bucket Challenge — that's $3.5 million more than the charity received in contributions for all of 2012. More info about ALS and fund raising, please visit http://www.alsa.org/

Naked and Afraid vs Nude Sport Games


The Nude games participants are under arrest by the local authority after the video leaked to the social media. It was became the local main stream headlines news and repeatedly under public attention. What was actually went wrong to this group of people? Video from the festival – entitled “Nude Sport Games 2014” – quickly went viral after appearing on social media in early August. 

The footage showed over a dozen naked people engaged in different activities on a remote beach in Malaysia’s northwestern state of Penang. 


According to the video, the program for the naturist event included body painting, dancing and relay races. There were also some unique disciplines during the meetup, including ‘Swim over body,’ in which a nude woman was crawling over the bodies of three naked males, and ‘Gangnam style! Horse dance’ that required a female to ride on a man’s back.

The popularity of the video landed its stars in big trouble, causing outrage among Malaysia’s Muslim population. 

Eight of them already surrendered to local police station but police still looking for seven other participants including participants from Myanmar and Philippines.

Police said they were investigating the suspects under Sections 294(a) and 509 of the Penal Code. Section 294(a) states that whoever, to the annoyance of others, does any obscene act in any public place shall be punished with a maximum three months jail or a fine or both.

Under Section 509, a person guilty of using a word or gesture intended to insult the modesty of another can be jailed up to five years or fined or both.


On the another hand, there was a film was aired by Discovery Channel in April 2014- Naked and Afraid in Malaysia http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/naked-and-afraid/videos/naked-in-malaysia.htm . The film also available in Social Media YouTube for public viewing. In this case, there was no punishment by above Penal Code. What would you say and comment about it?


The popular reality television show produced by Renegade 83 Entertainment for Discovery Channel featured firefighter Fernando Calderon and single mother Samantha Pearson, surviving in Malaysian rain forest for 21 days. The programme chronicled the lives of the two, who met for the first time and handling the task of surviving in the wilderness, naked.

According to the source, the episode was shot in Royal Belum Forest in Perak.
Eventhough the episodes went on air on April 13, 2014 in Discovery Channel, the netizens was shocked to find out that the whole episode was shot here in Malaysia.
