alaysia – Less than one week after the unflattering report from Kosmo newspaper suggesting that Yasmin Ahmad "had duped everyone and had attempted to hide who she really was", the newspaper has issued an apology.
In fact, such was the outcry for the initial report that Facebook fan pages of Yasmin Ahmad were full of comments encouraging members to boycott the newspaper.
The original article was reported on Sunday and yesterday the paper was forced into an apology.
In a recent press statement by president of the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Malaysia (4As), Datuk Vincent Lee, he said, “Yasmin is extraordinary because she taught us to see beyond race and creed. Her unassailable insights into humanity and mastery of her craft make her a force of nature. She showed us how to be romantic comedians, and how film directors can unite the nation as one, and how to be extraordinary whilst at the same time, raising the industry’s gold standards.”
