It's Just A Fckn Breakfast by Cawand Dien

Fueling the Flavour Feud: Malaysians and Singaporeans Lock Horns in a Fiery Debate over the Exquisite Essence of Nasi Lemak!

In Cawand's digital art exploration, he draws inspiration from the renowned street artist Banksy, whose thought-provoking works challenge societal norms and provoke critical conversations. With a focus on the ongoing Nasi Lemak (a dish made of rice cooked in coconut milk) battle between Malaysians and Singaporeans, his artwork delves into the complexities of cultural identity and culinary heritage.

Ultimately, his artwork seeks to bridge the gap between the Malaysian and Singaporean communities; encouraging dialogue, empathy, and an appreciation for the artistic expressions that emerge from their passionate pursuit of the perfect Nasi Lemak. It serves as a reminder that despite the heated rivalry, we are serumpun—a term that signifies our shared roots and interconnectedness. In this interconnectedness, we find strength; realising that we need each other to fully celebrate and preserve our cultural heritage.

Amidst the heated debates and passionate rivalries, let's not forget, at the end of the day, “it's just a fckn breakfast”.
