KUALA LUMPUR: When Yeow Teck Chai picks up a paintbrush, he hopes the finished work will find a home. He also hopes it will help someone he may never meet.

The former deputy director-general of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) has spent years using his love of painting to raise funds for charity. This month, he will do so again at “Art4Good: Painting from the Heart”.

Running from Oct 14-18 at Bangsar Shopping Centre and supported by FMT, the exhibition will raise funds for two non-profit organisations: Free Food Society (FFS) and the Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped (SSMH).
