Having first published his cartoons at a tender age of 13, Lat's inimitable style, wit and perceptive insights have won many fans across race, language and culture. Throughout the span of his six-decade-long career, he has managed to record his own life and the life of many who struggled with changes that come from moving from rural to urban life and the memories of Malaysia and the world.

In lieu of the 60th anniversary of the merger of Singapore and Malaysia, Lat traces the changing landscape of life and friendship and how cartoons can still bind us.
