@@kwanhk6161 really???teleprompter for this kind of speech? where is it?

probably off camera. there's one type with the screens made of some kind of transparent plastic. But if she really did it without notes, then wow, amazing!

Michelle Yeoh attended an English speaking medium school in Ipoh, Malaysia. Also, Malaysia ranked the third highest in English proficiency among Asian countries.

[@BoyBoy-gd9gv]

Yes. Ipoh Convent

[@Whywhywhyw-c5l]

But spoken English in Malaysia is quite difficult to understand because it is so adulterated with English sounding more Malay than English, and English conversations littered with a lot of Malay words.

[@samtehais]

​@@Whywhywhyw-c5l while that may be true, many of us can switch to proper English when speaking with native speakers whether its American, British, Australian English etc...

[@aeroline11]

Omg, she never look down for scripts or note yet her speech was so smooth and her gesture was such natural. Things she said were all her memories she went through in real. Hope her story inspire the graduates and lead them to a bright future.

[@limmengkoon619]

Michelle Yeoh is so impressively articulate and eloquent without looking at any notes. Frankly, her articulation and eloquence can put many lawyers to shame! Behind her feminine demeanour is a very determined, strong character and great will power to succeed in her endeavours. As a fellow Malaysian, I am so proud of her and so happy for her.

[@bernardtan3639]

What an awesome inspirational speech for the graduates of Class 2023, those present and others watching this video. Simply fantastic!

She meant to say 'high perches.' There are quite a few errors in the subtitles.

Great video! But one typo: bruise, not Bruce at 07:09.

[@English.Square]

You are great, this speech has about 2,000 words, you can find it in it. Thanks for the correction!

[@bengong666]

@@English.Squareyou do not have to be sour or salty about it by pointing out how many English words there are subtitled in this video, sometimes people, purely and by chance, spotted the spelling error(s). In this case the person may just be innocently letting you know about it, without any ill intentions that would imply that you should not have done such a mistake as a KZbin channel specifically focused on English subject matter, based on that one excusable and understandable human error.

[@terroristeoverdoz]

If she was not Michelle Yeoh, no one would give a damn about this speech

[@KT-h3d]

I guess the rundown gave her 15mins to share and she spoke 15:00😱😱😱😱 That’s the difference between the best female character in the academy award and normal people

[@GlobalEnglish-2025]

很好的影片，謝謝。

[@biocryptodisk4342]

Excellent Malaysian English😇😇😇

[@kevinkwliew]

I wouldn’t say it is “Malaysian English”. Instead, I’d say Michelle speaks excellent standard English with a tinge of Malaysian accent.

[@erchay]

this is standard english, rightfully so as the language education in this part of the world is based on British English. The younger generation are more confused and mixed in american english.

[@garychin5321]

A suggestion for a really great role for her is the civil rights activist of the 1960/70 Yuri Kochiyama, Kochiyama was linked with Malcolm X. at this time. I believed Yeoh had already played Political Figures such as Aung San Suu Kyiv in "The Lady".

English is her first language

[@Whywhywhyw-c5l]

Is it? But her English sounds heavily tainted with a Malay accent, especially considering the long years she's spent in Hollywood.

[@lisalee2655]

There are many malaysians who speak english as their first language at home and most of them also attend schools using English as the main /sole medium of instruction ( equivalent to intl school or private school) they speak heavily accented english just like the singaporeans; but it is their mother tongue, even though they are asians

She seems like a great person, speech was great, delivery was great, but the accent persists. Doesn't take anything away from the presentation itself, but not the ideal template to use as pronunciation/annunciation practice.
