Art Gallery
Antiques are not the only things that make The Settlement Hotel, Melaka, special. There is also an art gallery in the hotel, the Yeak Ping Lian Gallery. Yeak Ping Lian was born on 18th November 1993 and has a condition called the savant syndrome (autistic). Although suffering with savant syndrome he is blessed with a remarkable ability to create art.
One of his masterpieces called the “Ubudiah Mosque I” was sold for RM100,000.00 to an anonymus bidder at the Grand Auction of the RDA Charity Ball in Malaysia back in 20th November 2004. Although he now resides in Sydney, Australia, his work is exhibited daily at the Yeak Ping Lian Gallery, The Settlement Hotel, Melaka
