PETALING JAYA, April 28 — Malaysian artist Yante Ismail’s depiction of a defiant student has hit home amidst the brewing controversy over period spot checks in local schools.
Her artwork, adapted from a piece she made in 2019, shows a girl in a blue pinafore standing with arms akimbo and what appears to be a pool of blood at her feet.
The young student stares down an angry mob carrying signs reading “shame”, “protect your dignity”, and “control women.”
