The New Straits Times Online......
The New Straits Times Online......: "KUALA LUMPUR: Film actress/producer Datuk Michelle Yeoh became the first Malaysian actress to receive France's highest civilian award, Legion of Honour (Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur), in recognition of her contributions to culture and society. French Ambassador to Malaysia, Alain du Boispéan, presented her the award on behalf of French president M. Nicolas Sarkozy at a ceremony at his residence here yesterday. Born in Ipoh, Yeoh, 45, shot to international stardom as a Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies in 1997 and Ang Lee's martial arts drama Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. “I share the honour with my family and friends in Malaysia. I promise I will be a worthy representative of France and Malaysia in forging relations between the peoples and two countries,” said Yeoh in her acceptance speech."
