Legend - Yasmin Ahmad

I plea to all readers to pray for the speedy recovery of Yasmin Ahmad. She is a renowned film maker, producer, director and inspiration to many of us especially me. She has developed many unforgettable advertisements and movies that had touched many of our lives. Her involvement in Malaysian film industry inspiring so many of us, her heart for Malaysia is something that all Malaysians irrespective of race, gender or culture should learn and be inspired on.

You might remember her work on many of the independence day advertisement by Petronas. Furthermore, if you have heard or watched the movie Sepet, you would know that her belief in the unity of Malaysia and how our cultures although different in so many ways have blended together and formed Malaysia. We can see her passion and love for what Malaysia truly stands for. She is a pioneer, patriot, and most importantly an “Anak Malaysia”, a Malaysian in heart, soul and belief.

This month of July has been sort of a dark month for many people, we had witness the passing of a legend, a great inspiration and world changer Michael Jackson. I truly believe that the world and especially Malaysia cannot afford to lose another legend.

The news of Yasmin’s collapse shocked me to my core as I was returning from Kampar. Therefore my friends, please put in a short prayer for this hero of Malaysia. If you are interested of what I have mentioned above have a look at these sights below:
