18 is a gang. when i was in high school it was mostly the indians. then they have the "aun soon", "skinheads", "24"....all these are those "gangs"

I think this video was out some time already.

I remember one of the bearded and moustached guy saying, "graffiti is an art, imagine seeing PE**S and VA****S in the toilet" or something like that in the video

Synopsis :

Danny Lim's "18?" - Citizen Graffiti in Malaysia

What is 18? This mysterious number is but one of a prominent crop of graffiti that has popped up around the streets of Kuala Lumpur.

Sprayed at strategic urban spaces and applied with a seemingly socio-political agenda, the 18? graffiti and its like (eg "Legalize ganja", "Ada apa dengan National Service?", "Pertahankan Hak Asasi", etc) brazenly takes its place alongside advertising banners and billboards in our urban sightlines.

What does it mean? What is it selling? Why? Who did it? 18? - the documentary - attempts to uncover the mystery behind the graffiti.
