When it comes to having the Midas touch, Omar Juree's work of art is what comes to mind.
Taking inspiration from the famed Bukit Bendera trains and ferries, the talented woodcarver counts transforming Penang's life-sized attractions into whimsical miniatures as his forte.
Despite being in his late 60s and wheelchair-bound, Omar's sheer talent triumphs over the two.
Although each artwork takes weeks for completion, Omar's stellar outcome was worth it as he now counts individuals, corporate companies, and factories as firm clients. Even the Penang Hill Corporation had him commission one of the train carvings to be displayed at a museum in Bukit Bendera.
When it comes to the price tag, these beauties range between RM250 to RM800- a STEAL for such an intricate process.
