Well, the project has been a success whereby all 8,888 NFTs have been sold for a total sum of RM1.3 million.

Shared by the artist himself in a statement yesterday, Pua said that the NFTs were booked or sold within just 28 hours after it was launched on 31 August 2022 in conjunction with Merdeka Day. Moreover, the Damansara MP said that NFTs of the painting will continue to be sold via the Opensea NFT platform and that DAP will continue to get royalties from each transaction.

The Langkah Sheraton painting was made by Pua during the Movement Restriction Order (MCO) in 2020 and was inspired by the real-life events that saw the Pakatan Harapan government fall. It features well-known Malaysian politicians and even the Dewan Rakyat Speaker.

Pua previously commissioned his painting to be part of an art display at Theatre Impian in 2021, Bukit Jalil which honours the life and struggles of DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang. In regards to why he decided to sell the painting as an NFT, Pua previously said that it is so that his artwork can be co-owned by Malaysians in a meaningful way.

So, what do you guys think of the Langkah Sheraton painting by Tony Pua and how he utilised it as an NFT to help fund DAP’s GE15 campaign? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!
