Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh Homecoming Public Fan Meet at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

The heavy afternoon thunderstorm yesterday (18th April) did not deter thousands of fans of Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh from making their way to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, to have a glimpse of the Oscar-winning actress. Naturally, the shopping mall was packed. In fact, fans had already lined up behind barricades, along the red carpet, hours before her arrival, chop-ping their vantage spot.

Although slated to arrive at 4pm, Michelle Yeoh only reached Pavilion KL slightly past 5.30pm. Loud ruptures of cheers were heard from the enthusiastic crowd as soon as a gleaming white BMW leading an entourage of vehicles turned the corner to the mall’s front driveway.

The patient supporters were duly rewarded, as the radiant actress walked down the red carpet, stopping for wefies, autographs, and even hi-fives with her adoring fans. It was a memorable occasion and extremely gracious of Michelle to appreciate her fans in this manner, who came out to celebrate her achievement as the first Malaysian actress to win Best Actress at the Academy Awards (Oscars 95). Michelle Yeoh’s fiancé, Jean Todt, and niece, Vicky Yeoh, walked the red carpet with her, too.

While on stage, answering one of the questions posed, Michelle said, “No matter where I travel to, I always bring with me some Malaysian curry paste, to have a taste of home.” Therefore, it would be most befitting for Ipoh to hold a street parade for Michelle Yeoh to honour our homecoming queen, don’t you think so?
