Its hard for me to express how extremely devastated I am to know of Yasmin Ahmad’s passing. She was one of my role models. I first got to know her work while watching The Love Story of Tan Hong Ming. And the first thing that I thought was what an adorable story it was, but it had an under-lying message of being race-blind. Being in an interracial relationship myself, it just touched me.
Tan Hong Ming : Her name is Umi..Umi Qazrina.. I like her..
Lady : Why do you like her?
Tan Hong Ming : She wears earrings.. She ties a ponytail… She’s pretty.
Lady : What do you wish you could say to her?
Tan Hong Ming: Do you wanna come on a date.. err.. to a romantic dinner..
Lady : Does she know you like her?
Tan Hong Ming: No, I keep it a secret.
Lady : Why?
Tan Hong Ming: I don’t want the whole world to know.
Lady : Why not?
Tan Hong Ming: Because everybody will laugh at me.
Lady : Why should they laugh at you?
Tan Hong Ming: Cause she doesn’t like me.
Lady : She doesn’t like you?
Umi Qazrina: My name is Umi Qazrina.
Lady : Who’s your best friend?
Umi Qazrina: Tan Hong Ming.
Lady : Do you like him?
Umi Qazrina: * momentary silence*
Lady : Do you have a boyfriend?
Umi Qazrina: Yes.
Lady : Who is your boyfriend?
Umi Qazrina: Tan Hong Ming.

Why I created the poll?
Since i created the poll, many viewers were asking me why i created the poll. And to tell you the truth, I didn't have a clear answer about what i was doing now. But I will try to explain it to you. All of you choose to support a candidate you believe in deeply. But at the end of the day, we aren't the reason you came out and waited in lines that stretched block after block to make your voice heard. You didn't do that because of me or anyone else. You did it because you know in your heart that at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - we cannot afford to keep doing what we have been doing. Let us unite in common effort to chart a new course for the disiplin board and prefect board.
