EDITED: I had to fix my grammar because Malaysians were getting angry I accidentally wrote “I told people I was southeast asian, I was Malaysian” and focused on ‘I WAS’ instead of the whole message. Ofcourse I AM Malaysian but anyways here’s the new and improved caption.
2021 - My first Vogue cover ever, and what better way to have this moment with @voguesingapore!
I recently spoke up about representation in Hollywood.. or anywhere actually. If you want to play the Southeast Asian game, you gotta have Southeast Asian players. In my 15 years working in the international music industry I have been ‘trying’ to prove my worth to the world that yes- I’m a southeast Asian woman and I too can be great at what I do. Southeast Asian women sometimes get little or no respect for our efforts because of where we come from (this is where third world country, sexualization of SEA women comes to mind) or the colour of our skin. We needed to go above and beyond to have a seat at the table. Now that the entertainment world is starting to recognize SEA talents and the richness of our culture- it’s important that we are involved in carefully telling our story and not let anyone else write our narrative for us. You can’t pick and choose what Southeast Asian narrative you want to tell your audience, you need to embrace us for who we are. We need to be in on the conversation. Hire us. We are here.
Our girls and boys need to see us out there so they know that - with whatever they have in them, no matter how small a village they come from, they can achieve what sometimes seems impossible. But it’s not. They can be world class too.
When I’m out there and I tell people I’m southeast Asian, and Malaysian, I’d get different reactions. “Wait how are you Asian but dark skin? Wait how are you Asian but you’re Muslim? Wait how is your English so good?” People still have no idea (or a skewed idea) of who we are so let’s find every opportunity to make our mark in whatever field we want to excel in. Demand a spot to tell our story.
Thank you #VogueSingapore for having me on your April 2021 cover. @musingmutley you’re a real one for this💥 Keep on telling beautiful SEA stories through SEA creatives.🙏🏽 man! I’m gonna get 20 copies of these and give em to my aunties OMG!!

i wrote in caption 在 Jojo 吴俐璇 Facebook 八卦
“四面楚歌,也非等不可。”
When I wrote the caption for this picture I thought she reminds me of Tang Wei in Dragon (武侠), the grace grieve of waiting for the unknown. But the more I look into the picture, the more I think she resembles Brigitte Lin in The Bride with White Hair(白发魔女传), stubborn in what she believes. Woman, you must learn that your sentiment can both be powerful and lethal. Land on the unworthy and it will consume you. You will only be remembered evil.

Watch Common Talks About Hong Kong After Winning Best Original Song | Oscars 2015:
http://youtu.be/5jcDMvgcPOo
Common started off the moving speech:
First off, I’d like to thank God that lives in us all. Recently, John and I got to go to Selma and perform “Glory” on the same bridge that Dr. King and the people of the civil rights movement marched on 50 years ago. This bridge was once a landmark of a divided nation, but now is a symbol for change. The spirit of this bridge transcends race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and social status. The spirit of this bridge connects the kid from the South side of Chicago, dreaming of a better life to those in France standing up for their freedom of expression to the people in Hong Kong protesting for democracy. This bridge was built on hope. Welded with compassion. And elevated by love for all human beings.
Then Legend took to the microphone, building off those sentiments:
Thank you. Nina Simone said it’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times in which we live. We wrote this song for a film that was based on events that were 50 years ago, but we say Selma is now, because the struggle for justice is right now. We know that the voting rights, the act that they fought for 50 years ago is being compromised right now in this country today. We know that right now the struggle for freedom and justice is real. We live in the most incarcerated country in the world. There are more black men under correctional control today than were under slavery in 1850. When people are marching with our song, we want to tell you that we are with you, we see you, we love you, and march on.
