, some Malaysians are saying that the credit should be fully given to Yeoh and not to Malaysia.
Among the Malaysian politicians who praised Yeoh for her win was Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who called her illustrious career an inspiration to Malaysian actors. Another said: “I don’t think Malaysia should 'tumpang' and claim her achievement today… I see her as a global citizen working hard to prove herself in her work.”
Online users claimed that Malaysia's film industry has not been nurturing to its native talents, with one remarking:"A Malaysian made history... given that none of our local film industry had actively helped in this project or her rise to stardom." Independent filmmaker Pete Teo previously called out Malaysian institutions for failing to support the art scene in Malaysia.
Disgraceful cheap media
Everybody wants to claim credit all at once 😂
Sour grapes. She is a Malaysian and mother still in Malaysia.
Don't sour lah. She is from Malaysia. U not happy then produce your own star from your country lor.
Importantly, she regards herself as M'sian or Global citizen. Anyone asked her? People have been known to flip both ways...
Globalists are right. She is a global citizen being hoisted up to the altar for some very specific reason. To champion globalists propaganda.
Losers nobody wants to claim?
Yet we have China propagandist claim credit, when she is not even from China...
Everywhere everyone all at once want to claim a winner.....this is a natural thing to do. But the matter of the fact is she is borned msian n thus msian.. ...no argument.
Correct
The Malaysian government with its race based political system has nothing to do with her achievements.
