“Having to see such social unrest and to see the restaurants and stores that I used to frequent and enjoy being destroyed and vandalised, was very heartbreaking,” said Lee Yen.
“I felt I needed to do something. My conscience wouldn’t be at peace if I sat at home quietly while all this was happening about 10 minutes away from my house,” she said.“Seeing the news throughout the week was very sad and depressing. Minneapolis is not my hometown but it is a beautiful city and I love the area so much,” said Lee Yen.

Great coverage. Proud of Lee Yen who is contributing back to her MN community. Can we also talk about how there is racism that exists in Malaysia as well, & what we can do as citizens to overcome the existing systemic racism, discrimination & prejudice against some communities?
natalia__ng It is a shame what happened to George Floyd and others in the past. Justice must be done. ALL people must come together, get know, love and understand each other. We must agree to get to know and respect each other, and ALL treated fairly. We shouldn’t have to be forced.😢❤️🙏🏻
My heart goes to the people & hope that justice for Mr Floyd will be served. Thank you for giving us Malaysians a clear insight of what’s going on. I hope you’ll stay safe. So proud of you.
