Yasmin, dressed in white, appears like an angel towards the end of this clip as she sits down to commune in silent reverie with the boy whose house has been demolished…

Let justice flow like a mighty river
Good piece of work. Much better than Ho Yuhang’s “Potong Saga”, which is predictable and trite. This one by Linus Chung is simple, touching and meaningful.

Rama’s mother would be delighted to receive a double storey terrace house, wouldn’t she?

So sad to see this video. Whilst some are not having even a place to live nor food to eat, there are some, in fact many, who never worked hard at all nor inherited anything but are buying multi million pound homes in London despite having gaji only 2 or 3 thousand ringgit.
We are the only country in the world where some earn small money but can buy luxury homes in Mayfair, St John’s Wood, Knightsbridge in London.

TOUCHING SCENES – YASMIN REMEMBERED
Touching scenes that show local reality
Yet there’s more than sympathy with empathy
Let’s hope and pray for more human sanity
So that the poor and needy will be free from pity

Some ignorant people seem to be so captivated and mersmerized with this ‘double story house’,thingy.Do this justice seeking citizens think that,those villagers of Kg Buah Pala are so gullible and fools to trust and take the words of the developer and the Penang DAP govt on face value?Do they remember the pre March 2008 elections promises made to those poor villagers by PR and the personal promises which came from the very mouth of Anwar Ibrahim?Why hoodwink those poor people now?Why cant the state govt or the developer,give all full details of the double story house`purpotedly’ worth RM500,000?How if they are hoodwinked and cheated again by providing 2 pigeon holes one top of the other built using inferior quality materials?After all they have alredy been cheated by the PR govt,particularly the Penang DAP govt by blatantly going against the March pre-elections promises,where they all promised to save that village at any cost,even at the expense of their dead bodies,NO?
So,dear justice seeking people,who is being greedy here?A govt which is acting in collusion with rich towkays by blatantly disregarding their promises to those poor and law abiding farmers and villagers or those poor citizens of the country who just want their ancestral land of nearly 200 yrs remain with them so that they can live peacefully while earning a livelihood by tending to their farms and live stocks?Who is rearing their ugly head?The very politicians who promised to save their village over their dead bodies or the poor villagers?Let your own conscience speak
.As far as I am concerned the PR govt,namely the DAP govt in Penang has failed those poor people miserably.They have eventually endorsed all the wrong doings of the previous BN govt instead of taking it as a god given opportunity to right all those wrongs commited by the previous evil govt.So LGE,this what after all you are capable of as the CEO of the state?You are definitely not a CM material,more so you failed to uphold truth and justice which you and your mates always claimed you are championing.Now go, you and your ilks sleep peacefully after (allowing the destruction of) those rooftops of some of the poorest citizens of the country.Take pride in your `achievement’.LGE,no amount of reasonings and excuses will restore your credibility as you failed in your very first test as a CM,you failed those poor people who had looked up on you to save their homes and livelihood.You had all the executive powers pertaining to land matters which you could have invoked,sadly you simply chickened out… And dont show your immaturity and childish character by getting angry with those poor villagers for going to UMNO for help,that was a cry of desperation and you are the making of it,because you failed to solve a very important issue which strikes at the core of a civil society.Go,sleep peacefully now,if at all you can.Thanks for repaying us with this,for all the support we gave you.

That reminds me.
Look at the news report below in The Star.
The Kg Buah Pala folks have got a great deal after discussion with UMNO and the developer completed.
This seems to be better that what the Penang State Government arranged.
Anil, this is what happens when a small community has too many leaders who each have a mind of their own and impose too many conditions, as though they can achieve miracles.
And Sugumaran is teling taht he does not know what was the outcome of the talks? Wonder why he was nto informed, when the two parties who talked about the matter have updated the media!
Now what lah Amil?
Go on to blame LGE and the state government of today?

‘Friendly’ meeting reaches no conclusion
GEORGE TOWN: The much anticipated meeting between Bukit Gelugor Umno division chairman Datuk Omar Faudzar and Nusmetro Ventures (P) Sdn Bhd executive director Thomas Chan has taken place, but nothing conclusive was reached.
Chan said the session, initially meant to look for a way out of the stalemate over the Kampung Buah Pala controversy, turned out to be a meeting between old friends.
“Omar did put forward the request of the villagers,” he said yesterday. “We discussed about the matter, but nothing concrete came out of it.”
Omar scheduled the meeting with Nusmetro after Kampung Buah Pala villagers sought his help following the state government’s decision to wash its hands of the controversy.
Among the requests by the villagers include a direct negotiation with the co-operative to sell a portion of their land at a reasonable price to the state government. The state could then use the land to build a planned village for them.
Another request was for a bigger double-storey terrace house to be built for each of the 24 temporary occupation license (TOL) holders at a 0.9ha state land, located adjacent to the village.
Residents’ association chairman M. Sugumaran said the meeting had taken place but did not know the outcome.

When a child sees his dream house through the eyes of greed of their fathers then our education system had failed our next generation.
Through the innocence and purity of a child could rama see his dream house as the house he is staying in. Only through his love for his father could he see his dream house as an expression of love of his father.
A society imbued with greed and materialism will see rama as foolish. Society need more such foolishness.

Yasmin will be, to my generation, what P.Ramlee was to my father’s generation.
A film-maker that was way ahead of their time.

Excellent effort from Linus Chung. The simplicity of his approach immediately touches the heart. And so timely, too, in view of all that’s been happening around Kg Buah Pala. “My father built this house with his own hands…” and that’s why Rama is happy to live in it. Outwardly it looks like a hovel, but the love that dwells within transform it into a heavenly abode.

This is the truth and reality. Such low comments, such lost of words, everyone is dumbfounded for the individual hypocrisy that lies beneath themselves as we have seen in Kg Buah Pala issue, only for themselves as oppose to the goodwill of the community and the so called society that we hope to create.
Viva Malaysia, the fools that we continue to be to be manipulated primarily in our subjective terms. 52 years has forsaken us what is another 100 years for the perception created for what fit’s one’s own agenda.
Malaysia is just a standby and a stepping stone, we have options in an artificial hitherland and blah! blah! blah! around without a thought for the truth and reality that faces our society that we can make a change if we are truthful, just and fair in our approach individually.
When it is real and just, you don’t need justification, but it faces you right in your face, how and why you do it, is your own justification for a collective basis if you chose to do it.

I wish I knew Yasmin personally. Never bothered or paid much attention to her movies or her work. After her passing, I guess all that hype made her saint in every Malaysia’s eyes.
God Bless Her Soul

Dear Anil and other Progressive Friends
Sorry to go off topic.
Can I bring your attention to this inspiring article on the late Senator Edward Kennedy?

This is beautiful. I’m from singapore but am a great fan of Yasmin, her films and advertstories, and a keen follower of malaysian politics. I think she is a great soul whose spirit extends beyond national boundaries, and definitely one that fills in the void in my country.
