  "account": "Former deputy director-general of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida), Yeow Teck Chai, employs his passion for painting to support charitable causes. His latest endeavor, \"Art4Good: Painting from the Heart,\" showcases more than 120 of his artworks that will be available for purchase at Bangsar Shopping Centre from October 14-18. The proceeds will benefit two non-profit organizations: Free Food Society (FFS) and the Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped (SSMH). Both organizations aim to improve the lives of vulnerable individuals, FFS by providing food and education for underprivileged families, and SSMH by offering rehabilitative therapy for children with severe disabilities. Yeow, who has contributed over 100 paintings to charity since 2018, will be joined by fellow artists Oon Soon Keat, Yoon Chooi Wan, Tan Ken Ming, and eight-year-old Winsen Loke. Former international trade and industry minister Rafidah Aziz will launch the exhibition on October 14, contributing her own artworks to a silent auction, with minimum bids of RM1,000 per painting.",
  "summary": "This upcoming exhibition showcases works by Yeow Teck Chai, Rafidah Aziz and others, with proceeds going to two worthy causes.",
