Ms. Low, read so much about what you have done. Been wanting to catch your films but never got a chance to. All the accolades are enough to prove that you attain a very high level of achievements. Congratulations and keep up the good work. I will try harder to catch a glimpse of your work. Promise.

Eh Haljel apa lah ini? U mahu bekin komen racist kah? P.Ramlee ada dapat oskar ke? Bafta, Cannes atau Tony ke? Balek lah ke ans 50 kalau u suka P.Ramlee sampai u tak boleh buka mata baik baik. Cik Low yang talent masa depan. Kita mesti kasih berhormat ke talent baru. Bukan selalu mimpi talent dulu. Macam mana seni kita boleh progress kalau kita tak berhormat talent baru?

I think Haljel's comments do not really do justice to our local indie film-makers. He sets an example of being awarded the Best actor in the Asian region as our country's film-makers' benchmark. He forgets or is completely ignorant of the many awards that many of our young film-makers have been given for excelling in the Asian and even World arena.
I leave it to the professionals in this field to refresh his memory because I do not wish to pretend that I am qualified to do so. And make the same mistake as Haljel by doing so.

sar3ong, why must everything be racial?? haljel's comment might not sound favourable but you need not sum it up as a racist comment.. every one is entitled to his opinions.. but you're right on one thing, that is respecting our local talents.. one thing that haljel failed to see.. so, not everyone is as talented as the late p ramlee.. but still, every one still has their own special talents. so sar3ong, just pretend we didn't read haljel's comment and carry on supporting our own local talents.. let's promote unity and not let something trivial stand in our way..

No, I am not wearing a pair of racist shades. I regard the tone of his comments to be coloured because the majority of his people have been conditioned by the government to have a superiority complex. Its a subtle programming through the past half century to enable them to overcome their psychological weakness so that they may become more competitive.
Heroes and icons were consistently projected so that they could identify with them. And hopefully to emulate them as well. The collateral damage to such programming is that the other races have to bear the brunt of their discrimination and arrogance. That is why till today there is so much misunderstanding between the three major races.

Malaysia has been very fortunate to have such a GIFTED son. Not A but A+ in every department. P. Ramlee has set the BAR STANDARD OF QUALITY for all Malaysian actors, directors, singers alike. Until one has EQUAL or SURPASS what has been set there is NOTHING to SHOUT about. Anything less is and will be SUB - STANDARD.

Unless one has managed to get into the Oscar, Bafta, Cannes, Tony's or the least Asia's premier film festivals or mentioned favorably, you still have a long , long , long way to go. Malaysia and Singapore nothing to shout about. Your parents maybe...your friends maybe...but to include Malaysia...I don't think so. The highest that a Malaysian has achieved was and still is P.Ramlee...Best ASIA Male Actor...and you are nowhere near that.....am I right or am I right! Come back when you are 50 or 60 and we'll see any substantial achievement...I mean substantial...OK!
