Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim could not help but heaping praises on 2023 Academy Awards winner Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh at the launch of the “I Lite U” illumination project in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 3 for putting Malaysia on the world map.
00:00Majlis Penutak Zim mempersilahkan yang berhormat Perdana Menteri untuk menyampaikan ucapan perasmiannya.
00:07Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh, it's an absolute honor as well to have you beside our dear Prime Minister.
00:12Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh, saya tahu sudah datang untuk lihat dan dengar Michelle Yeoh.
00:18I'm realistic enough to accept that fact.
00:22Jadi saya nak menafatkan waktu ini, betul kita nak lancarkan I Like You.
00:27Thank you again to all ministers and ministries and Devamandaraya for supporting this event.
00:33But it is a rare honor, a real pleasure and a distinguished honor for all Malaysians that we have with us.
00:46They are standing, and I'm horrible, horrible, horrible of the wicked.
00:52And the first Asian Oscar winner.
01:02So I thought I'll do away with all the protocols, arrangements and formal speeches.
01:11You've heard me before, you're going to hear again.
01:13So let us hear from her.
01:16Now, she's an outstanding actress.
01:20I mean, versatile in all sort of characters.
01:27And she stood with that discipline and zeal.
01:32And I would say then, let us hear from her.
01:39What is it that drives her to prove that a Malaysian girl from a remote town in Perak
01:51could come up and emerge as a great Hollywood star.
01:55Oh my goodness, I think I'm blushing.
02:08I'm so red right now.
02:10Thank you for those incredible words.
02:12That is so, I so appreciate it, especially coming from you, sir.
02:17You have been a great inspiration to many people for what you have done for our country as well.
02:22I am very privileged to be here tonight.
02:26And thank you.
02:29I wasn't ready for this.
02:32But I know what you want.
02:34Madam Moribar, flip it around with the witch.
02:38I think what it is, like all my fellow Malaysians, we know what it is to work hard.
02:47When you work hard and when the opportunity arises, you have the chance to seize it and run with it and do well, hopefully.
02:55So I have been very blessed to have wonderful parents, family who have been so supportive.
03:01And I know every time I come back to Malaysia and I walk down the streets and I see all your faces, you inspire me to do more and to represent you all well in the rest of the world.
03:14So thank you for all your encouragement and support.
03:18And I will continue to do my very best to make sure Malaysia boleh.
