A sad week for Malaysia

Last week, the whole of Malaysia was stunned to discover that a political secretary of a Selangor exco, Teoh Beng Hock, 30, was found dead at Plaza Masalam - a mere 3 min drive from my home. The shocking part was that, he was found sprawled 9 floors beneath the office of SPRM while under their 'custody'. It was indeed mysterious as he was supposed to be registering his marriage to his fiancee the following day.

Hence, Malaysians from all walks of life denounced the irresponsible statements made by some government officers and ministers, such as the one issued by Nazri. Hm, some people can be so inconsiderate!

And this morn, Malaysians wake up to another huge loss- that of Yasmin Ahmad, the mega-talented director of so many 1Malaysian-themed movies - Sepet, Gubra, Mokhsin, Talentime, and of course, the various hilarious, heart-rending Petronas movies come raya & national day time. Seriously, the Msian film scene would never be the same again!

The way she weaved real-life scenes into her films were simply marvelous! She gave us the talented Amani and Shafie (the boy who played Mokhsin), and of course, Adibah, and whatever things they say about her, for me, she's a plain genius!
