The public has been urging the government to reconvene parliament which had been halted abruptly earlier this year. Grace Selvanayagam was a graduate in Textile art from the University of Bristol, UK. She taught in the Specialist Teacher’s Training Institute in Cheras, KL together with Syed Ahmad Jamal. In her later life, she lived in JB and had also taught in Singapore. She wrote the book, Songket: Malaysia’s Woven Treasure. She did her research in the East Coast with the support of Prof. Ungku Aziz. Grace was very much an abstract artist. Her works were displayed at the NUS Museum, Singapore in 2017.
