With a background in architecture, Kaiyi utilized his skillset to venture into the art industry by using a laser engraving method, he designed the motifs and engraved them onto the wooden tiles. This Mahjong set has the Wau Bulan, dragon head, and Kolam but there is also an amusing tile that depicts a certain infamous political figure in clown make-up.
The final Mahjong set includes 88 tiles, 3 dices, and a few mahjong rulers and as of right now, only the prototype is available and it was exhibited at The Back Room KL, Zhong Shan building back in April.
