Yasmin Ahmad, may she rest in peace, has passed away at 11.25 pm on June 26 2009. Yasmin, 51, collapsed while presenting a working paper at Sri Pentas, the headquarters of the television station TV3 on Thursday and was rushed to the Damansara Specialists Hospital. It is reported that she suffered from a stroke and brain hemorrhage.
I was utterly shocked when hearing the news. She was at the prime of her life, heck, the prime of her career. I loved her works - Sepet, Gubra and Muallaf, just to name a few. Her advertisements were nothing to sneeze at either. They are some of the most creative Malaysian ads I have ever seen, and good Malaysian ads are very hard to come across. She orchestrated the adorable and endearing "Percintaan Tan Hong Ming".
I admire her, I truly do. Goodbye, Yasmin Ahmad, may you rest in peace.

I saw the documentary on the late Yasmin Ahmad on M3 last Saturday. She might be gone but her work sure does touches the little fire of patriotism and unity in each and every single Malaysian out there. Hopefully her legacy will be carry on someday soon...
