Mahalo, Mei Li Siaw!
Mei Li Siaw was the first CSEAS reader to identify the stills from last week's tribute banner; here is Mei Li's response:
Terima kasih for this tribute to Yasmin Ahmad, and for all the ways that CSEAS have worked to bring her and her vision to UH and new audiences... Despite being in Hawaii and missing the cinematic releases of her recent films back in Malaysia, I've had the opportunity to see them through CSEAS efforts and collaborations.
The three stills featured are THM's priceless jaw drop from The Love of Tan Hong Ming for Petronas (2007);
Tan Hong Ming in love | Petronas ads
Rohani and Rohana from Muallaf (2008),

and Mahesh and Melur in Talentime (2009).
