 There are not many Sarawak Malay artists who left a legacy in the Sarawak's fine art scene. I have come across one who was a successful artist in the 80's but did not continue to produce more works due to his early demise. I share here some research I did on Othman Borhan who was a contemporary of mine in the late 60's when we took art lessons in form six at Tanjong Lobang School under the illuminating guidance of our art teacher and himself an accomplished artist, Mr Voong Kiat Fui.
