Having been a gallerist, merchandise-display artist, arts-events organizer and more – Phillip Wong truly is an artist! Phillip helped design 3 kompangs for the Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival to be auctioned off to help raise funds Cancer Research Initiatives Foundation (CARIF). The funds raised will help the Malaysian independent non-profit organization to further its efforts in conducting research in prevention, early detection and treatment of cancer.

Kompang is a small hand-held rebana used by the Malay community. It is commonly used to announce the arrival of important guests, such as VIPs, as well as to celebrate Malay weddings.

Come view the full exhibition at #YSDAF14 featuring kompangs designed by Phillip, Zainal Abidin, Sheila Majid, Monoloque, Nini Marini, Ajim Juxta, Art Misfits and Kenji Chai.
