Malayasia (Covid-19 & My Staycation No 5 - Shah Alam, Selangor) Part 2 July 5 2020


" Love yourself first, and everything else falls in line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world " 

1) Section 7 Commercial Center, Shah Alam - a newly developed area in Shah Alam 


2) Laman Seni 7, Section 7, Shah Alam - a section of public alleyways featuring an interesting selection of unique wall murals 



After 2-3 hours of spending my Sunday morning wandering around a few of the major tourist sites in Shah Alam, I felt great & headed home as I finally accomplished my dream of visiting & seeing this nearby state capital of Selangor from my home place in a better perspective ! Home sweet home again ! 


My Good Old Days - There's always time for art ! In recent years while doing my staycations in my home country, Malaysia, I had the opportunity to visit a number of street art (back lanes & alleys) in various cities / towns / states of Peninsula & East Malaysia ie Kuala Lumpur (Federal Territory), Kulai, Muar & Rengit (Johor), Seremban & Port Dickson (Negri Sembilan), Klang, Kuala Kubu Baru & Kuala Selangor (Selangor)  Sungei Lembing & Bentong (Pahang), Ipoh (Perak), Georgetown, Penang), Kuala Terengganu (Terengganu), Kota Baru (Kelantan), Kuching (Sarawak); these street art are colorful, meaningful, attractive & impressive to look at, some of these street art depicts the daily life of the local people, others reflecting the customs, multiculturalism & diversity of the populace of Malaysia as well as food etc.
