Synopsis
Lat was born in Kota Baru, Perak, not to be confused with Kota Bharu the capital of Kelantan. He had a wonderful talent for drawing as a child and drew excellent comics. At the age of 9, his gifted talent began to yield his family income. His first real book was Tiga Sekawan, a story about three friends who banded together to catch robbers. The book was published in his sixth year at Jalan Pasir Puteh Primary School in Ipoh. His publisher paid him 25 Ringgit for his service. By 1968, Lat was earning 100 Ringgit a month from his work.........

	"Lat proves that humour transcends cultures" - Paul E Rogers
	"LAT's cartoons provide a thoroughly believeable view of Malysian life and politics. To me, as a 'Mat Saleh', LAT provides an invaluable guide to Malaysian culture, expressed in a way mere words never could. Me and my wife have been an avid collectors of his books. This one is truly exceptional and certainly a collection. I recommend you get the books" - Paul E Rogers
	"A few weeks ago (been meaning to blog about this before, but am busy) I got the chance to attend a talk by Datuk Mohammad Nor Khalid , or as most people know him, Lat. A national icon, he articulates the many facets of Malaysian society through his evocative cartoons. This one is refreshing as meeting the man himself." - alchemily
