This is the first mural we found... nak posing kat sini tapi dah ada one Chinese family pose... so snap jer lah.

"Property" Sculpture, Victoria Street, Georgetown.
The Sculpture celebrates the extension of the shoreline from Beach Street to Weld Quay, creating additional space the construction of warehouses, stores & other commercial properties. It also serves as a reminder that land reclamation has been ongoing in Penang since the late 19th century.

This mural is titled "Brother and Sister On A Swing" by Louis Gan. Located at a small alley at Chulia Street Ghaut, Georgetown. This beautiful mural really reminds me of my childhood when I played on the swing with my brother and sisters ;) Love, Love, Love this one!!!! :D
