Mengkerang is a fictitious place created by the artist. A Day Without Sun in Mengkerang (Chapter One) invited participants of different ethnicity to participate in a “game” of exquisite-corpse, describing Mengkerang as they imagined. There are only two rules in the game, that is the story must happen in Mengkerang, and to use at least two of the three characters (characters that reach a high appearance in Malaysian primary school textbooks) provided.
