Presiden Apad, Cik Masturah Sha’ari, yang juga seorang pelukis dan pemilik bersama Maya Gallery, berkata beliau terharu melihat keluarga, kanak-kanak, dan juga orang kurang upaya turut mengambil bahagian dalam proses pewarnaan mural itu.

“Motif mural bukan sahaja mencerminkan warisan, budaya dan tradisi Melayu tetapi juga nilai silaturrahim. Proses kolaboratif ini menunjukkan masyarakat kami terbuka untuk kerjasama.

“Menerusi kerjasama seperti ini, kita dapat saling memahami dan menjadi lebih sedar tentang masyarakat masing-masing,” jelas Cik Masturah.
