Have you seen any films by Ho Yuhang and Yasmin Ahmad?

Hi,

yes. 

i have watched films by Yasmin Ahmad.
-- Sepet ... (i told my friend when we were in the DVD shop, and he immediately bought the DVD becos it seems to tell of his story, a Chinese man in relationship with a Malay girl)
-- Gubra
-- Mukhsin ... (the director was even in attendance on her own)

The last of the trilogy is actually the "prequel" to the other two. I thought the young girl looks like the older girl in the first two films ... Guess what, I later realize these girl are actually sisters in real life ...

as for films by Ho Yuhang
-- i have the DVD for Rain Dogs, 

but as usual, i have NO time to watch ...

Hey, that's good to hear. I bet Sepet didn't go over particularly well with the authorities.

The film I'm most interested in however is Ho's Rain Dogs. I've considered purchasing it on a couple of occasions but I'd still like to know more about it. Please share your thoughts if you get an opportunity to watch the DVD.

In Singapore, we advocate racial harmony ...

So, I think all 3 films were okay with the local authorities ...
anyway, just to be doubly sure, I will verify whether there is any edited scenes ...

Sepet - to be verified
Gubra - Passed without cut(s)
Mukhsin - Passed without cut(s)

Her NEW film "Muallaf" also has controversy

And I have just realized that I used to have a post on her in THIS board ...

I meant more in terms of a reaction rather than actual cuts, though that also qualifies. Thanks for the link; the article certainly sheds some light on the situation. I'll add Mukhsin to the index. You could perhaps add a few comments when you have some free time.

Because I was in US when Sepet was screened in Singapore,
other Singaporeans have informed me that ...
