Malaysian movie star, Dato’ Michelle Yeoh has been been criticized for her political preference. Supporters of the Malaysian opposition party are accusing her to be a traitor and a government stooge.
The controversy erupted after reports that the 49-year-old movie star was to attend a huge dinner party attend by Prime Minister Najib Razak and other ruling coalition leaders.
A Facebook page supporting the Malaysian opposition drew more than a thousand comments that condemn the actress as a traitor.
Yeoh stepped forward urging the the community not to judge her negatively.
She said: “This is a democratic country. We’re all free to voice our opinions. I think people shouldn’t be personal. I think all of us want to do good for our own country. And I believe they want to do the same thing.”
