Yasmin Ahmad

News has it that Yasmin Ahmad, acclaimed director, Malaysia's prized story-teller, died suddenly on July 25th. Known for her unique way of telling story, capturing the essence of what's truly Malaysian, she will be missed. Her heart warming festive advertisements never failed to capture hearts and media spotlight. News of her death spread further and wider than possibly imagined. I should go search for all her movies to watch. (except Susuk since its a horror film) Does anyone have a collection?

May her legacy continue. She wasn't just a writer or just a director. She boldly told the story from a point of view that most wouldn't dare. The E true story. May the torch she has been bearing be caught and fought for in generations to come.

A list of her movie can be found on IMDB. Anyone has her festive advertisements? Youtube doesn't have many. Here's the latest (I think) for an organization in Singapore:



I did not really bother when Michael Jackson died. But her.... I was.
