Last Tuesday 18 April when Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh had finished meeting and greeting her fans including showing off her Oscar Award at the Pavillion Mall she headed to her mum’s, Datuk Janet Yeoh’s birthday party.

At her press conference at noon of the same day she had said ‘she specifically returned to celebrate her mum’s 84th birthday. The pandemic had prevented her from having a celebration for a few years “so we are going to throw her a big party this time”.

Datin Janet’s birthday event was themed “Raging Soul, Datin Janet Yeoh Live Birthday Concert’ and a large poster showed Janet sitting confidently on the sofa. It was held at the banquet hall of Berjaya Times Square Hotel.

Janet was taking photographs with her guests in the foyers of the hall when Michelle walked in with Tan Sri Vincent Tan and her entourage of Jean Todt, Vicki and Max Yeoh. More photographs ensued before the VIP’s were led to their seats.

With the presence of Michelle Yeoh in the hall the entire evening was such a buzz with guests wanting to take pictures at every opportunity with Michelle and mum.

The scenario at the banquet hall resembled Michelle’s ‘Meet the Fans’ session earlier at the Pavillion Mall where the fans literally swarmed to take a selfie and get a glimpse of the Oscar winner, the first Asian to win the prestigious award. The MC announced later that everyone would have an opportunity for a photoshoot onstage with Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh.

...it was similar at the banquet hall ...everyone wanted a photo with Michelle and she obliged

For Datuk Janet’s “Raging Soul’ billing was most apt as her three songs performed was wonderful. Her guests who performed with her were as sprightly and clicked spontaneously like her duet with relative Lim Keng Hoo singing ‘Beautiful Sunday’. It really was a Raging Soul Concert.

Michelle like her mother was ever ready to smile for the camera. From the time she stepped into her mum’s event she was ever ready to flash her sweet smile. As for Datuk Seri Jean Todt all throughout the night he was a picture of calm and patience always by the side of Michelle.

For the members of Yeoh, Lim, Chew and Oh (YLCO) family who attended from Ipoh and Singapore it was definitely an event to remember where they got together for a very historic event.
