I Was an admirer for Yasmin Ahmad’s PSA, the deep humanity aspect of it touches many person across the world, one of my Fav are Yasmin Ahmad’s Chinese New Year’s PSA on 2006, about a group of old ladies at nursing home bluff about their successful children, their salaries, professional jobs but in the end, not one of them visit them except one grandma’s son picked her up for a walk, the story really touches me.
this book give a glimpse of Yasmin Ahmad’s Work including her 12 Commercials, 6 Feature Films and 2 Internet Shorts, the review written by Amir Muhammad, her friend and admirer gives me a deep look into Malaysian’s rainbow , including pluralism, humanism and a sweet aspect of life. a 223 pages that the writer work within a month and after he looked all of her feature films.
Yasmin Ahmad passed away on July 2009 after 2 days struggling against sudden stroke that leave her in coma.
i believe, this news also broke many people’s heart, including me that time, and when the news of this man… the writer of this book came to Jakarta, makes me come out rushing from office to the event in Blitz Megaplex only to find out that the film already begun, and the cinema door already closed .. 
later on, the writer gave me this book on free.. i think because he saw me exhausted after running for 30 minutes from Bunderan HI, thanks for the book, mr Amir Muhammad.. 
recommended books for all copywriter’s, Filmmakers, Producers and Directors that want to know about this marvelous works of Yasmin Ahmad.
Cheers
