KUALA LUMPUR: Award-wining actress Lee Sin Jie (pic) urged voters to respect the choice of other people as Malaysia is a democratic country, major Chinese newspapers reported.

“Every person has the right to vote. We should respect this. Malaysia is a democratic country. I hope our country will stay peaceful,” said the actress who hails from Alor Setar, Kedah.

Lee, who shot to fame in the horror film The Eye, was asked to comment on cyber bullies attacking artistes who showed their support for certain political parties.

“No matter who you support, this is the voters' right. No matter who will rule the country, I hope the people will not be too emotional.

“I do not hope to see trouble in the country,” she said at a function here on Tuesday.

International artiste Datuk Seri Michelle Yeoh had been attacked by cyber bullies for her open support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

However, Yeoh has defended her decision, saying everyone was free to give their views in Malaysia, which is a democracy.

She had openly expressed support for the Prime Minister at a gathering organised by the Federation of Chinese Descendants of Selangor on Saturday.

“We have a leader here who has done so many good things and will do more.

“I hope from the bottom of my heart that he will remain as the Prime Minister and I ask all of you to give him a strong mandate,” she told the crowd at the mammoth gathering organised to show support for Najib.

Another Malaysian artiste being attacked by cyber bullies was composer-singer Eric Moo, who performed at the 1Malaysia Penang International Charity Drive concert at the Han Chiang High School in Penang on Saturday.

Moo, from Perak, defended his action, saying that everyone had the freedom of choice.

Moo posted on Weibo yesterday that he was “not affected by threats and not afraid to be scolded” after his decision to perform at the charity concert drew criticism from cyber bullies.

Local artistes who attended functions organised by Barisan Nasional had been attacked by cyber bullies while those who showed support or performed at Pakatan Rakyat functions were not.

On Saturday, a group of local singers including Yu Heng, Danny One and Jiahui Wu had performed outside the Pakatan Rakyat operations room in Kluang, Johor.

Several Pakatan candidates, including Kluang DAP candidate Liew Chin Tong, gave speeches at the concert.

Some local performers had openly supported Pakatan including Malaysian singer Wilson Tin, who had performed at a DAP cerama

Artists shouldn't support any political party openly... after all, they may incur wrath from fans instead.

Follow what Psy did... he performed as per contract and left without hanging around with BN leaders. Now, that's non-partisan.

Some even do character assassination just because he/she differs in political view.

i strongly agree with her, its ppl's right to support which party
she's also human
its democracy.

If she support PR she will also let BN ban? will these shit ever end? grow some brain pls.
vote what u want, let ppl vote what they want.

good la...
the young cikus are not stupig anymore.

support of cos must extremist, support habis-habisan
who got support half half one...

she have her right to support which party, and we have our right to condemn her

LOL

she ask you to respect michele yeoh
so you support la...

but bear in mind that the people/fans who critised michele also have their rights in citisizing anyone they like.
please also respect the fans decision to boycott her.

orang buat atrak boleh, sendiri buat tarak apa.
aparah...

you summarized in one sentence what this is all about.

I wouldn't say all the young chinese....

Only the lalabengs are like that....very very very very very very very noisy in Facebook.

And it wouldn't be a surprise that these lalabengs were former voters of MCA or their own parents are the one who supported MCA.

Now, these lalabengs who have never supported DAP before in the past suddenly got so excited and started making noises and asked everyone to support DAP.

Those who have been supporting DAP already all these past years wouldn't go to such extreme to criticise others who have a different view.

I dont understand this prfags. They kept saying politik samseng budaya bnfags. Tapi in cyber world, they become samseng. Keyboard warrior. Hentam sane. Hentam sini. Memalukan betul.

i tot bn fags edi biasa with this kind of attitude.
they samseng all the time is orite, other samseng cannot?

Worse is they said they are neutral...

sudah boikot, so no need respect

If our youngsters keep doing this, I'm worried for our country's future.

We need to learn how to "agree to disagree"

if everybody have rights then nobody should enjoice bora-bora

biasa letew...
baru jumpa internet?

what kind of skewed logic is this?

"rights" as opposed to "against the law"

macam pandai letew

i tak buat apa pun...

its just that i dun see any respect in ppl rights, but resorting to cyber bullying is extremist attitude,
makes no difference.

young ppl with hot blood kot...

law is by BN, so we ubah! hidup! hidup!

bikin malulah cyber trooper ni semua
just stfu pls

lu pun sekor

+1

meaning most /k/ are lalabengs?

lee sin jie another hipokrit? tell us not to dislike a trooper? what happen to freedom to voice opinion??

Actors and singers should follow the example of Psy - not to get involved with politicians. Once you take sides openly, be prepared for fans backlash.

She support is ok then no 1 stop her but she asked every must support the same too this is main reason why kena fired kaw2.

Then she should also respect those that deem Yeoh a traitor as this is a democratic country since those haters also have their right to hate on Yeoh.

and they never feel anything wrong with their deeds....and that is scary and dangerous to the country....extremist in the making....LYN manyak

It's not enough people mix politic with religion, now want to mix entertainment too...

she didn't comment on them...she respect everyone lo...she no shoot back

she didnt say that

This.

As an actress/artist, she should not announce it openly.

Is ok if michelle support BN/PR/Independent or etc.

But because you ask people do the same, thats what happening.

Im sure if she ask people to support PR, BN people will do the same.

NEVER DISCUSS ABOUT POLITIC WITH RICH PEOPLE... RICH PEOPLE ARE BLIND SINCE THEY ONLY LIVE IN THIER OWN COMFORT ZONE

AFTER ALL ANY DISASTER AND BULLIES CAN BE COMPENSATED BY THIER HUGE WEALTH..

IN SHORT THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN..

maybe she should have shut up and vote whatever.. is non of our business

lol....rich ppl are the 1 driving the economy.....poor ppl contribute social problem....

Michelle Yeoh really knows how to balas budi...!!

Now rich and famous liao .. kini masa balas budi..!!

As people said, should follow PSY step. Just come and perform then end of story. BN/PR supporters happy.

+1.
....i remember...the poor OKU man who had his allowances revoked because he was seen supporting the opposition candidate at a state election...what happened to his democratic rights?

...and people have a right to condemn you for condemning her, and than you can condemn them back, following which they condemn you again etc etc.

At what point does that end? Is this really what a democracy is about? Non-stop condemnation? Grow up lar...

Just because you have the right to do so doesn't mean you can't think about the consequences and refrain from doing it.

Because pr fags says pr are better than BN. Cleaner and better than BN in every way.

Which is why they should have behave better.

If they behave same as BN fag. Then why bother voting for the same thing ?

Diamlah hantu

Retard above my comments.

Only holyman can vote pr? U stupid? Even uneducated ppl that literary stays on trees having a vote and can decide my future. Puih. Thats how democracy works. The stupid mass decides the future of everyone.

1. Democratic = NOT FOUND!!

2. Hope this country will stay peaceful means what?? Ruled by the same political party and never change for better good??

3. Not matter who rule the country, I hope ppl will not be too emotional??
Of course emotional!! Because we care!! Duh....!!!!! DUH!!

4. You don't hope to see trouble means what?? No demo?? Even the most advanced country has trouble!!

5. We've a leader here who has done many good things??? WTH?? His evil deeds way outnumbered his good ...

6. Give him a strong mandate?? Yeah ... only if you're already FILTHY rich!! Literally FILTHY!!

I think you won't be seeing Michelle yeoh anline commercial on tv these days. As an artist she needs to know she endorse a lot of product and I believe she should be more responsible in making her view public. Just as other has spoken she had the right to het view so the others has the right to criticize. After all she is an artist. It's like telling the whole world I only like white d**k. Sure just prepare for backlash.

What toking u?

you wrong.. IT'S PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THE ECONOMY.. ONLY RICH WHO MONOPOLIZE THE ECONOMY..

WITHOUT PEOPLE.. HOW TO DRIVE THE ECONOMY?

WITOUT RICH ECONOMY STILL CAN BE DRIVEN... THAT THE FACT

IT THE RICH WHO CREATE SOCIAL PROBLEM FOR PERSONAL GAIN

short and straight to the point.

A public figure needs to be held responsible for his/her actions. Yeoh is a public figure. She can support whomever she wants but it's not a personal opinion when she openly asked others to do the same. Preaching about democracy but can't accept criticism for what she herself said. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. It's not entirely wrong to call her a traitor, by openly affiliating herself with a political party without caring for the sentiments of her fans she has "betrayed" their trusts.

and others also has the right to condemn those who condemn her based on a personal choice.

Then she also has the right to condemn the people who condemn her.

and also the right for friends of people she condemned to condemn her back..

guys - why so serious...come lets calm down with a drill

and then it continues. condemnception.

until eventually ppl get bored and move on to next hot topic....

the time they started the take the move they are no more poorfag la....

We should respect our Dato Michelle Yeoh, she has her reasons for doing so, also its her right to support whoever that she likes

since when voicing our opinion equals to no respek?

I mean those condemning her shouldn't do so

emm...to condemn is to express disapproval.

so i think it's not really..dis-respecting to express disapproval ler..
unless the condemn u hav in mind involving vulgarities, human/animal organs or a mixture of all and in between..

In the US, there is no bulls**t like this. Katy Perry perform for Obama inauguration, Arnold join politics, Clint Eastwood express support for republican. Yet when they have concerts/movies there's no call for boycott. Fans are able to separate politics from entertainment and continue supporting them regardless of who they are supporting. Malaysians are still too immature when dealing with these.

Since it's democratic being talked about, I CHOOSE not to respect lol.

btw who is ur siggy girl?

This! Their typical lie.

and who s fault is that..?

pakatan rakyat chinese behave like samseng online. in real life like mouse kena bully.

Hehe Fox News is like asking TV3 to be neutral

heart meltdown liao,...even watever words come from her mouth

mana drill lee sin jie?

MCA no bola also? how can la.

lol who is lee sin jie? never heard before
