Members of the Federation of Methodist Schools Alumni Associations of Malaysia or FMSAAM got a bonus when they recently held their meeting at 1 Jalan Lasam earlier this week. The members got to view photos of Michelle Yeoh, her early years with her family and her career when they toured the YLCO (Yeoh, Lim, Chew and Oh) museum.   

Michelle Yeoh had won 95^th Oscar Award for Best Actress for the film Everything, Everywhere All At Once and became the first Asian to have won the award. 

Museum curator Ignatius Chew, who is Michelle’s uncle, had laid out the front pages of the mornings papers all of which featured Michelle’s Oscar win. In another section more photographs of her earlier years with the family and career was on display.
