M. PARAMANNANTHA VELOO, 71, realised he still has the charm for painting when he picked up the brush again after ages during the Movement Control Order in Malaysia. 

The former insurance agent and a self-made badminton champion who lives in Bukit Mertajam, wanted to make his time at home useful and decided to go back to doing what he loves, painting.

it takes him about three weeks to complete a painting and has already sold a few! 

Tesini Nathan who shared her father's artwork on Facebook said that her dad unlocked his talent this year thanks to the Movement Control order.

"He used to paint when he was much younger, it was his hobby."

However, she shared that her dad never continued painting after settling down as his priorities shifted to painting the happiness of his family in everything he did for them on a daily basis.

"We actually never had any of his paintings in our house."

But the Movement Control Order in Malaysia got him to pick up from where he left his art love.

"The pandemic got him stuck at home and created an opportunity for him to rekindle his passion."

Besides painting, the Perak Indian open tournament Badminton Champion (doubles), also provides free badminton coaching for underprivileged children in his neighborhood.
