Dian Lee

History

Dian is an accidental producer/director. As a mother of 3 children, Dian has yearned for a Malaysia that is all inclusive regardless of race and skin colour, a Malaysia that her children have a chance to thrive on an equal playing field and a society that is based on meritocracy and justice. Leading up to the 14th General Elections, Dian was involved in various efforts to raise voter awareness including a campaign to help students return to their hometowns to vote. This sparked her journey to document Tun Mahathir’s inspiring efforts to overhaul the decayed political system with the initial intention of preserving his indomitable spirit for the future elections to come. As a result, she reached out to her friend Marina Mahathir, to initiate coverage of Tun Mahathir’s election campaign to document his efforts. The rest as they say is history. Dian lives in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. She is an entrepreneur as well as a yoga teacher. She graduated from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) with a BA in communications.
