Political graphic artist Fahmi Reza is no stranger to controversy as his satirical artwork on various current and pressing issues has multiple times in the past been deemed to be too offensive.

Although a large number of Malaysians enjoy the work he does, he often gets into trouble with the authorities and hate from members of the public for his provoking pieces.

Recently, Fahmi revealed that his latest installation is a huge mural serving as a warning at the upcoming haze season in the heart of KL.
