The whitewashed facades of colonial buildings are common in Penang’s financial district, often with a backdrop of the 60-feet-tall Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower standing above everything else. This work reveals Peter Liew’s penchant for architectural heritage works which is one of his favourite themes.
