Evangeline Neo has written in to Angkatan Pertahanan Awam (APM) Malaysia Negeri Johor to request that her drawings are credited back to her by inserting "Art by Evacomics". If the APM refuses her request, Evageline wants her artwork removed completely or the APM should instead commission a Malaysian artist to redraw the instructions.
If you refuse, you should remove my artwork completely or commission a Malaysian artist to redraw the instructions.to
