Old school art by Dr. Edwin Ho
I hopped from shop to shop in a zig-zag fashion, entering them whenever something piqued my curiosity. Towards the end of the street, by the river, I saw Patron Music & Arts, a fine art studio-gallery. I peered into its glass door. It was dark in the main hallway immediately behind the door. A sign next to it says, "Please ring the bell". I did. A man towards the end of the hallway rose, half asleep and flustered. I wondered had I rudely interrupted him in whatever he was doing. I then looked at the sign next to the door. It read, "Dr. Edwin Ho, PhD (Fine Art)". Now this is interesting.

A dissenting voice from down under
Sumi has been kind enough to help me spread the word on Project Exodus. She will be bringing back with her some A5 flyers I've printed regarding this initiative. I've been distributing them in cafes, restaurants, art centres etc in Malaysia. So far, I haven't had any luck, except for a handful of people who emailed me expressing their support for what I'm doing. Some preferred not to participate for personal reasons, but promised to help spread the word.
