RIP yasmin ahmad

heard from my friend in leo burnett that yasmin ahmad passed away just minutes ago.

i’ve always looked forward to being able to work with her one day, but now i will never have that honour. from everything i’ve heard from friends and acquaintances, she embodied none of the rampant cynicism or nastiness or work-related politics in our industry. i regret never meeting her or telling her how much her work moved me.

malaysia has lost someone special today.
