As part of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½¡¯s Memorandum of Understanding with MPM worth RM5.6 million to rejuvenate Manjung through sustainable urban development initiatives, the development of Dataran Doodle Art Manjung sees the collaboration of talented artists, Perak born-and-bred Wan Muhammad Huzaifah of Jepah Studio and Perak-based muralists, Lakar by Mekar, as part of a dedicated team of over twenty people.

An artistic endeavour which spanned one month, the artwork interprets local culture and heritage in bold, modern strokes, with depictions of community scenes, places of interest in Manjung, flora and fauna in a kaleidoscopic display of colours, making the square a fresh attraction for both locals and visitors across the country.
