Sculpture restorers of National Monument reunite after 46 years

Four sculptors who worked on the restoration of the National Monument or Tugu Negara when it was bombed by communist terrorists in August 1975 reunited after 46 years recently.

Zolkeply Maulana, Mufti Jantan and Abdul Mansoor Ibrahim, graduates of UiTM's (Universiti Teknologi Mara) School of Fine Art and their Australian lecturer Christopher Carney had planned the reunion for two years to review and reminisce the good times they spent working on the historical monument.

The trio were fresh graduates when they were handpicked by Carney to assist in the restoration works.
