KUALA LUMPUR — There's nothing quite like Lego — we play with it while we were kids, start to appreciate them as teenagers and collect them as adults.

It's one of those toys which you can really appreciate as it ages and collector Vincent Kiew took his "love-affair" with the plastic building blocks to a whole new level.

The KL-based collector shared pictures of Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and wife Dr Siti Hasmah entirely made out of Lego on his social media.

To him, nothing is more romantic than the love the two share for one another, and Mr Kiew has been inspired by how Dr Mahathir returned to the political scene and led the then-opposition to a huge victory over Barisan Nasional on May 9.

"There's always a lot of touching stories behind a hundred-year-old seniors. Tun M and Tun Dr Siti's love story inspires us to cherish and love our own partners.

I am determined to take good care of my health and to face the grind of life. Tun M has also changed the attitude of every Malaysian, by giving us hope for a better future," Mr Kiew's Facebook post read.

The Lego version of Dr Mahathir is seen sporting his typical grey suit accompanied by his wife in a pink outfit carrying a handbag.
