  "account": "Former international trade and industry minister Rafidah Aziz, principal artist Yeow Teck Chai, Oon Soon Keat, Yoon Chooi Wan, Tan Ken Ming and Winsen Loke - six artists united by a common purpose - are coming together through art for a cause. Their exhibition, Art4Good: Painting from the Heart, is being held at Bangsar Shopping Centre and aims to raise funds for two charitable organisations, the Free Food Society and the Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped. Each artist brings a unique perspective to the canvas, yet all are using their work to contribute to something larger than themselves. While Yeow has experience in four previous charity exhibitions, Oon rediscovered oil painting while working abroad, Yoon returned to art after a corporate career, Tan channels his imagination into vivid paintings, and Winsen taps his wrist and palm against canvas to create art. Their collective efforts are raising awareness and support for the Free Food Society and the Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped, with the goal of raising RM400,000 this year.",
  "summary": "Rafidah Aziz is among six artists contributing to ‘Art4Good: Painting from the Heart’, which she launched in support of underprivileged families and children with severe disabilities.",
