Malaysian doll maker and collector loves dolls more than diamonds

Lee Min Choo with her doll collection. "I don't know how to put a value on these dolls; they are priceless to me," she says.

If you cast your eyes on the lovely dolls, you just want to pick them up and cuddle them. You can’t help but wonder who their maker is.

Homemaker Lee Min Choo, 53, of Shah Alam, Selangor, says that she did not have any formal training in sewing although her mother, a former seamstress, used to run a tailoring shop. However, she only helped out during her free time, doing menial tasks like sewing buttons on clothes.
