Charity Premier of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' at GSC Mid Valley

Tiger, tiger burning bright

Former Malaysian beauty queen and Bond girl Michelle Yeoh was at GSC Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur yesterday evening together with director Ang Lee to promote her movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Although tickets to the charity premier were priced at RM50 a pop, there was a sizeable crowd waiting to spend the evening in the presence or at least the vicinity of the local beauty turned international cover girl.

When Yeoh finally appeared on the ground floor, cinema patrons and shoppers alike quickly crammed vantagepoints for a view of the proceedings. Most however, were unable to identify 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' director Ang Lee who accompanied the now Hollywood-based actress.


A drum performance got things started, heralding Yeoh and Lee's welcoming speech. Together the duo officially launched 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' in Malaysia and then proceeded to the third floor where a deejay from local Chinese radio station, MY FM, interviewed the stars who graciously thanked cinema goers for their support.
