On August 31st, 2005, Malaysia celebrated its 48th National Day. To help local people understand the ongoing Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s brutal persecution of Falun Gong and call for an end to the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners applied for a permit to have a "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance International Art Exhibition" in Taman Rakyat Park, Klang City, Selangor State, where crowds of people visit daily. The Klang city government approved the application after learning the facts, and the art exhibition was held successfully. Many local people came to know about Falun Gong and signed their names to support the effort to oppose the persecution.

A Malaysian citizen said that he regretted that only after viewing the paintings did he learn about the persecution. He was moved after he learned that facing the persecution for 6 years, practitioners kept clarifying the truth peacefully. He hoped that more such activities would be held to help more people find out the facts about Falun Gong.
A Chinese visitor expressed admiration for the practitioners' spirit of taking hardship lightly. A practitioner said that living in a good environment, it's hard for someone to imagine the cruelty of the persecution. Everyone should do their best and help to rescue the practitioners being persecuted in China.
After looking at the paintings, people gained an awareness of the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong.
