Yasmin Ahmad, The Storyteller - Forever

She passed away last night at 11.25 pm ...

Only a few weeks back, i was busy googling about her - to see how great her works of art are, to see how she is loved, to see how dedicated she is, how loving and caring she is to the precious kids she has worked with (i still remember how poignantly beautifully she wrote about her trip to Japan with the boy that played "Mukhsin") ...

I never failed to cry watching her works - they never failed to find their way to the core of your soul and make you feel "I am a human after all".

May her Soul rest in peace, for all the goodness she has shown us, for all the greatness she has brought to our nation and in many more ways she has touched our lives - after all we are no stranger to each other's soul.

Al-fatihah to Puan Yasmin Ahmad...

I shall miss her writing, immensely...

It took her singlehandedly fostering the racial harmony in our Ibu Pertiwi, her stories are pure and innocent and for that her stories nourish our Ibu Pertiwi...
