From my Facebook Note:
I was fortunate enough to have met Yasmin Ahmad once. Her heart-warming films and ads never fail to touch my heart.
She won awards from all over the world but she doesn't believe in fame and living glamorously. She dares to bare her soul in all honesty for the world to see through her thought-provoking masterpieces.
She's my favourite storyteller, film-maker, an honest, kind-hearted individual. Yasmin Ahmad, may God bless your soul. I'm sure He will for all your benevolence and goodwill throughout your life. The industry has lost someone talented and one of a kind. I respect her boldness and the way she stood up for her truths and rights.
"What's makes a difference in one's masterpiece (especially arts in general like films, dance, poetry, fine arts, photography) is whether it says more than what you see, hear and feel..
If the piece speaks from the heart, it'll reach the heart and that's what's gonna matter."
- My favourite and inspiring quote from her.
By the grace of Allah who gave her the ability to write so many films and ads, may we all gain benefit from that legacy of her inspiring works she has left for us.
Ameen Ya Rabbal Al-Ameen.
