Penang Street Art (The Brothers’ Car)
Located at the front facade of ๐ฆ๐ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ’๐ ๐๐ป๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, this art work depicts an old green Morris Minor Saloon (PH 6074) car, which is a replica of the original Brothers’ car from St. Xavierโs Institution. The art work is collaborative effort by Art Director Reggie Lee and artist Tim Teh, both former students of the school.
Purchased in the early 1960s, the car symbolized the Brothersโ legacy, often used for transporting them to various events, including school activities and funerals. After being stolen in 1966, the car was recovered at Love Lane later that year. In the 1980s, it served mainly for errands, driven by Mr. Abdul Majid, the Brothers’ driver. Rediscovered in a scrapyard and restored, the replica was donated by an anonymous alumnus from the class of 2009, honoring the schoolโs heritage.
