On 24 June, Yong's son Yong Min Wah represents Mun Sen and displays his paintings at the British Council Hall. Artworks on show include Chinese Temple, Catching Prawns, and Chinese Junks. Patrons Malcolm Macdonald, Admiral Boyd, Mr Aston, Resident Commissioner of Penang and Sir Edward Gent buy his paintings.

​

Yong's exhibition at Robinsons, Singapore, takes place from 27 August to 8 September. Mrs Malcolm MacDonald buys his artwork, Padi Field, which depicts a study of padi farmers. The exhibition features Mun Sen's latest works, including paintings of fishing-nets drying in the sun. Besides his depictions of padi fields, he also exhibits other impressionist works. On 28 August, a newspaper reports "Mr Yong has the knack for putting magic into the every day and the commonplace, and if his message is to be put into a nutshell it is this: that if we use our eyes more, life in Malaya can be a wonderful thing–a thing of sunshine and bright colours".

 

He participates in an exhibition opening at the Victoria Memorial Hall on 6 November in support of the Poppy Day Fund. A news article features the artist presenting a bouquet to Mrs V.C. Bath, the Chairman of the Singapore Poppy Day Committee.
