remembrance to Yasmin Ahmad

Yasmin Ahmad, a renowned film director in malaysia's film and advertisement industry.
her pieces of art included: Sepet, Gubra, Mukhsin and numerous Petronas advertisements.
regrettably, she past away yesterday after a stroke,
she was 51-years-old.

she collapsed few days ago in a meeting at Sri Pentas and remained unconscious for the following days.
personally, i like the movie Sepet,
it's an award-winning movie about the love between a Chinese guy and a Malay girl.
it's the first local film that i be attracted to.
Yasmin Ahmad, she was a guy before.
she chose to be a woman in spite of dissuasion from Malay community.
even some Malays curse she goes to hell after died.
i hope she can rest in peace.
