huh lucky he didn't take up the role, if not they won't win so many awards, maybe not even 1 [laugh]

 

I think so too. He's been stereotyped, and it's hard to imagine him in any sort of movie except martial-arts centric comedic action film. Which won't be considered for oscars.

i watched the movie last April when it first screening here, i find it quite interesting other than the 無厘頭 sausage fingers scenes, touches quite a few topics and some meaning in life in the movie.

Good movie yes but the 3 acting awards i think is subjective.

Michelle Yeoh’s granduncle was an ex-PAP MP and Speaker of Parliament: Ho Ching recalls

SINGAPORE: As people all over the world celebrate Michelle Yeoh’s historic Best Actress win at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday (12 Mar), Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s wife Ho Ching has recounted her own connection with a member of the Malaysian star’s family.

Pointing out how well-connected the successful Yeoh family of Ipoh is, Mdm Ho said that four prominent members of the family put down their roots in Singapore and served as top surgeons. Three of the retired surgeons – Dr Yeoh Kian Hian and his two brothers – are Ms Yeoh’s uncles while the most prominent Singapore Yeoh, Prof Yeoh Ghim Seng, is her granduncle.

Prof Yeoh, who was described once as “the biggest but fastest Asian surgeon,” was also a ruling party politician. His political career began in 1966 when he was recruited by the People’s Action Party (PAP) to stand in a by-election in Joo Chiat.

He won by a walkover and served as the constituency’s MP for 22 years. He was too busy with medicine to become a minister and so, the PAP made him Speaker of Parliament. In 1977, he became the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Organization’s very first president.
