IT’S ONE MORE month till the year-end, but our cover star Datin Dian Lee’s interview has put me in a reflective mode. Do you remember what it’s like to be in your 20s? Her story will make you reminisce about your own experience—looking back, you think you knew what you’re doing, but in actuality, you’re dealing with a lot of insecurities as you try to find out who you really are. I once came across these poignant words: ‘Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” I learned this late, and only started being more comfortable in my own skin, and at peace with who I…
IT IS HARD TO believe that Datin Dian Lee last graced our cover in 2007—when she was in her mid 20s, fresh after her wedding to businessman Datuk Jared Lim. “That was before children, the BC era,” she laughingly termed it, during a video interview we filmed last year for MalaysiaTatler.com. This month, Datin Dian is returning to the front page of Malaysia Tatler, as the face of our 29th anniversary issue and the recipient of our Most Stylish Woman award. Dressed in a loose white shirt, denim shorts and jacket, Datin Dian looked effortlessly chic as she arrived for our 9am call time for hair and makeup. She had just returned from a diving trip with her family and sported a slight tan from the sun-soaked holidays. Her eyes…

That deathly roller-coaster at Fujikyu Theme Park in Japan. The drop was soul-wrenching! What’s your pet peeve? People who take golden opportunities for granted, and those who are lazy. If you had to pick a new name for yourself, what name would you pick? I am a huge Sailormoon fan and I recently found an American actress by the name of Soleil Moon Frye so, yep, that would be my chosen name. That or Helena, since I love the band, My Chemical Romance. AARON LEE Lenswork Studio s talented photographer captured picture-perfect stills of Datin Dian Lee effortlessly What…
THE MOVEMENT, called the Royal Maritime Environmental Awareness (RMEA) programme, is slated to be a crucial part of the Malaysia World Maritime Week hosted by the Ministry of Transport and its agency, Marine Department of Malaysia. The RMEA was meticulously structured and conceptualised in accordance with the Bali Declaration signed by the Asia Pacific Countries of maritime pilots in Bali, Indonesia on August 30, 2017, where Malaysia was a signatory country. During a short harbour tour off Port Klang, Tengku Amir Shah was perplexed and worried as he noticed the presence of plastic pollutants that appeared on the surface of the sea, which ended up occupying the stretch of coastline during low tide, and insisted that immediate action be taken. According to captain Martin Lim, the president and chairman of…
