This is a kind of Rah-Rah-Rah celebratory work on China’s success in organising the 2008 Olympic Games and the triumph of the human spirit among the 10,942 athletes from 204 participating nations in 28 sports in the pursuit of the Olympic ideals of Citius, Altius and Fortius, which is Latin for ‘Faster, Higher and Stronger’. China topped the medals tally for the first time with a record medal haul of 51 golds, 21 silvers and 28 bronzes. Tew Nai Tong, who was among the 250 artists who took part in the marathon painting of the 888-feet banner tribute to the China Olympic organisers, was among those selected in the large Malaysian delegation prior to the Olympic Games to present the banner to the Chinese Olympic Committee honorary president, H.E. He Zhenliang, in July. Perfect sponsored the delegation (led by Datuk Vincent Sim) there as rewards and also to paint their impressions of the preparations and places they visited in China. The 91,000-capacity China Olympic Stadium, dubbed the Bird’s Nest, is the focal point with a selection of national flag emblems as floorboards, and with Nai Tong’s floating figures on top — some flying to greater heights while others diving (descending) into the whirl of competitions. Nai Tong’s floating figures, often naked, are one of his favourites to represent freedom to act and from encumbrances.
