According to the official Facebook account of the Selangor palace today, 12 April, the painting attracted the Sultan’s attention as soon as he laid his eyes on it.
The painting now hangs in his private study room.
The palace also said the Sultan hopes to auction the piece one day to raise funds for charity.
It is unclear where he bought the painting from or who the painter behind the artwork is.
The speaker and two officers are depicted as humans at the front of the hall.
However, politicians on both sides of the benches are illustrated as various primates and frogs.
Here’s a closer look at the piece of art:
On Instagram, comedian Harith Iskander commented, “Brilliant. Daulat Tuanku.”
“That’s a deep message, Your Highness,” said another user.
Another netizen laughed and said, “The way my sultan has accentuated his inner sentiments to the leaders of the country.”
