JUST a day or two before she died, she wrote this in her blog on hearing about the death of Teoh Beng Hock in MACC custody:
"Someone please wake me from this nightmare and tell me that this did not happen in my country and that Teoh Beng Hock is safe at home with his family."
I will remember her when I attend the memorial for those who died in custody as she would if alive today.
YASMIN, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
YOU ARE TRULY
AN ANAK BANGSA MALAYSIA
ICON.

Aptly siad, Uncle Zorro. I just love Yasmin and all that she represents. If only more can be like her; colour blind and a true anak Malaysia, Malaysia will be such a beautiful place that it is meant to be.
ReplyDeleteThis is a true Malaysian,her feeling
ReplyDeletetranscend racial bias and has genuine
feeling for humanities.RIP Yasmin, may your soul be blessed.
'sepet' - others are left wanting. 4 a very long long time, i suspect.
ReplyDeletewe'll never see the likes of yasmin for generations to come in filmdom. and in life.
'nuff said.
thanks for the memories, yasmin.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteFirst: TBH is not in MACC custody, but in MACC office.
Second: Some Muslim scholars have written about the division of gender in Islam in four groups: male, female, hermaphrodites (khunsa) and mukhannis or mukhannas. Mukhannis are biological males who identify as female and want a change of their biological sex. Mukhannas are biological males who (would like to) assume a female gender role but do not wanr a change of their biological sex.

Yasmin, u may not know how many, many fans and admirers u left behind when u passed on. God bless this towering Malaysian.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that we have our Anak Bangsa Malaysia movement. Why don't we induct her into out ABM Hall of Fame. Let her be the first recipient of this award.

ReplyDeleteNever have i respected one since P Ramlee who tries so hard to let Malaysians see the softer side of our lives thru love, tolerance, self dignity n respect..oh so much to say about this noble lady....
God bless her..a truly anak bangsa malaysia.
But alas ..not all in malaysia who walks in the corridors of power see that..such a sad state.
Bet Yasmin will live on in all of us ..the truly anak bangsa malaysians
no amount of obituaries will ever b enuf for this superb lady

Yasmin, we will all miss you..!
ReplyDeleteI now hope that your commercials will rerun for the festives seasons.
Your movies are like no other done by others in Malaysia...!
Nobody "can" replace you...!!
Nobody will.....!
Even though some of your commercials created a stir.....
It's "good" as it shows those that critized are the culprits...!!
God bless you & may you rest in peace...!
You are my "1st Lady".
uncle bernard,
ReplyDeletelet's not be reminded of the Kosmo story.
the best thing is not to repeat it.
i don't read Kosmo but was told about the report.
That did not make me buy Kosmo, though. Neither did I seek the tabloid.
i only knew about the contents from people who have read it.
the thing is, the report was not a lie. it was the truth.
but should Kosmo have run the story?
i say "NO". because it is simply not right to "expose" the truth after she died. For what?
what wrong did she do to society?
she was an icon. she touched so many hearts.
she was malaysia's treasure. our treasure.
SHE was beautiful in so many ways, inside and out.
we remember her that way.
why did Kosmo not do the expose when she was alive?
Takut, ya?
I couldn't agree more: a true Malaysian icon.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr Zorro & friends
ReplyDeletei think we should look at her legacy, her work,talent, inspiration,craft,wit,creativity,etc. rather than delve on her sexuality. Who are we to pass judgment on another person?
She is after all a human being. Simple as that. She may be imperfect like the rest of us but she has that special gift that stirred something deep in all of us.
Personally i dont care what the newspaper reported about her even if it is true.
She has left us so suddenly to meet her Creator. Lets cherish her legacy and leave the rest to her Creator.....

Yasmin Ahmad lived her life to the fullest, a very down-to-earth and much-loved human being who has touched so many lives and contributed much to society.
ReplyDeleteThank you Yasmin!
I think it is an open secret regarding Yasmin's gender but does it matter? Apparently it matters to religious fanatics, bigots, racists. We will always remember her as a Malaysian icon who has enriched our lives. We will always remember her as a patriot who chose to fight racism, bigotry, idiocy, stupidity. We will always remember her as the epitome of the real OneMalaysia.
ReplyDeleteKosmo has run a frontpage apology for that insensitive article on Yasmin. For me, it matters not what gender she was, she was a beautiful, warm n compassionate person - her soul simply radiates through her work.
ReplyDeleteI did read that Kosmo article online and i have come to the conclusion that Yasmin was a very special person. She was at the top of her game as a male and way ahead of the other film directors as a female. I salute her! RIP.
