1958-2009 - Yasmin Ahmad
Kak Yasmin has taught us a lot through her National festive ads and her movies of what it takes to be a Malaysian. A true Malaysian which contain one race... which is Malaysian. She is the only one that broke all racial barrier and protrayed what is Malaysian is like to the other nations. Unlike current Prime Minster talked alot of One Malaysian but no acting taken to prove what he has done for Malaysia. Such a shame on us being Malaysian.
I was doing a research on her last semester and wrote a peice of work about her work in Commercials and movie text to Malaysia. and I was anticipating her movie "Talentime" since the trailer.
Although she does not know me and i presonally do not know her as well, but some how i felt that she has been a part of my family. Since her passed i felt like I have ost someone in my life... perhaps i have been reading her blog often and I was growing up with her festive ads.
Her passed did reminded me of Markus Ng a highschool friend of mine who had passed this Febuary, somehow they both are similar in some way of their life, how they cared about their country, friends and appreciate life.
I will never forget Yasmin Ahmad's work and her spirit will live in each and every heart of Malaysian. We will be missing your festive ads in the future and your movies too =/
