Michelle Yeoh made cinema history as the first Asian Best Actress Winner at the Oscars for her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once. The news created a major splash around the world, especially at home in Malaysia, with the Ipoh-born Yeoh's triumph seen as one of the defining and inspiring stories of the 95th Academy Awards held in Hollywood, California.

Images of Yeoh posing with the golden Oscar will remain an enduring memory for pop culture fans for years to come.
