Better Late Than Never is a painting that highlights the massive impact that technology has had on our lifestyle, especially amongst the younger generation. Long gone are the days when children passed their time playing traditional Malaysian games such as congkak and guli. Now, life is consumed by the latest apps and games. The empty chair in this painting demonstrates the absence of the older generation, who play an important role in the preservation of tradition and culture.
