Superstar Michelle Yeoh’s Mother
A lovely picture of Sharon who had dinner with a group together with superstar Michelle Yeoh’s mother Datin Janet Yeoh…. Sharon mentioned that Datin Janet Yeoh is a very friendly, kind and lovely lady. Sharon looks forward to knowing her more as a person. From this picture, I think Sharon is right! She looks sweet. Nice photo and update from Liaison Sharon..thank you!
Sharon herself is a very gentle, sincere, and generous person. I can really say that as I’ve known her for a few years now. Sharon doesn’t want anything from people or never has an agenda. She is there for you. Just you. She can get along with anyone and has a variety of friends.
I’m glad to know Sharon who works very hard in Kechara Media & Publications dept and has books written by her. Great writer!!!
Also she is a full time mother to her beloved son Sean. She loves and adores Sean. He’s very cute too. hehehe….Sean has all kinds of schemes he cooks up to get Sharon’s attention…..very funny and cute sometimes.. I would also if my mom was Sharon. But I wouldn’t be too drastic though..hehee.
Sharon loves Charity and bringing benefit to others from the bottom of her heart. I will always watch over her and make sure she is ok like a fat guardian angel, because I think of her very fondly. May Sharon gain great attainments and Sean make Sharon proud.

In the picture Sharon looks like Datuk Michelle Yeoh’s mother Datin Janet Yeoh. If Sharon can say that Datin Janet is friendly, kind and lovely then so will Sharon project the same attitude to others. Yes Sharon has also brought Dharma to her son Sean who is very respectful towards people. I am sure with Sharon’s guidance, Sean will grow up to being an asset to Kechara in the future. And with Sharon in KMP she too will be of great asset to Kechara in promoting Rinpoche with the books that she writes. Being a Cambridge University graduate in the outside world Sharon would have so much potential. But she chose to join Kechara fulltime doing Dharma work which she thinks is more meaningful and beneficial to Sentient Beings.
Sharon is really a charismatic mother, sister, lover and student in her own right as she does so so much to fulfill the needs of the loved ones around her. She makes herself so accessible and supportive of everything that you do. And her being her makes her feel like she’s a gem so hard to find in the society today.:D
besides her role in KMP and kechara, she has gone out of her way to make possible connections in order to reach out to more people to have them connected to Rinpoche and Kechara. She does it with so much passion that the love that she pours into her work becomes of her and helps expedite the nurturing of the people that she wants to connect with.
I personally find this very touching as it is her way of showing her love for the Dharma very genuinely and it speaks alot about her with what she has achieved so far in life.
I love u Sharon, may u continue ur great work so that many more will come and be connected to Rinpoche through u.
I remember seeing Sharon regularly at Kechara House when I started to participate to their activities. She talked to me on a few occasions, always asking if there was anything she could do, or helping me with little things, being attentionate an kind. We got to know each other better afterwards, and all I can say is that the more I got to know her, the more I got to see how consistant, kind, and attentionate she is. She emakes no claim to fame, and no big effect, but she is REAL! She is sincere and genuinely means what she says.
When I first join Kechara, I hardly talk to anyone else beside Kechara outlet, but when I met Sharon; her impression to me is a good writer. I always have a kind of thought as writer is very difficult to deal with, especially when I heard that she is highly qualified writer, I feel so reluctant to go close to KMP is because they are ‘writers’, gosh, do I have to deal with them?? (haha, that’s my thought during that time, and my office is just opposite to KMP).
Until when I try to break this wall which I created myself, oh?? They are not as difficult as I thought, in fact, Sharon is a very friendly and nice lady, so immediately I feel so released that it erases all my thought towards them initially, although I have never work with her before, but from what I saw in this 2 and half year, Sharon is a loving mother and a greatest fellow friend.
Hi Sharon, my name is Albert, nice meeting you… hehe ^_^
The lady looks good as she must be at least in the mid sixties. Also looks fun loving type. Our Sharon will be too looking at her family genes. Her mother (in her late sixties) and granny (91 years old) do not look their age at all. Whats funny here is that the title of this posting blog is Superstar Michelle Yeoh’s mother but when i read through the comments, it is about our lovely liaison of KMP Sharon Saw! It goes without saying how popular Sharon is. Sharon has worked so so hard, its amazing. The tenacity and persevarance she has in all departments in Kechara is admirable as she is always available in any departments that needs her help, especially her writting skills. She really has put her Cambridge training to full use!
Aiyo! Everything I wanted to say has been said by the wonderful comments. I don’t care I still want to add my few cents!
Sharon, there have been so many moments that I have driven you up the wall with my ways! I have always been astonished that you did not slap me, given you’re like my older sister and mentor when I was on probation for my liaisonship. You are truly patient, warm, loving and compassion-in-motion.
Sharon Saw, who never eats with her hands (I am serious, even sandwiches and pizza she will use fork and knife… I do not kid you!) is a blessing to work with. She never complains and never says No. Like many have said, she is a gem.
Things are not always a walk in the park, though. There have been moments where Sharon has shed tears, felt sad, stressed up and not smile. I guess everyone will have such downtimes, it’s only human and part of samsara! I’ve been privileged to have shared these moments with her and acted like a clown to bring back her dimple-smile ☺ Sharon snaps out of it pretty fast, admirable.
All said, Sharon I love you la!
Terima Kasih Rinpoche!
“Sharon doesn’t want anything from people or never has an agenda. She is there for you. Just you. She can get along with anyone and has a variety of friends.”
This is such an apt statement in this time and age when most people are ‘up in arms’ over each other perhaps over hidden agendas and ulterior motives and only ending up with wounded hearts and mean distrust.
Yes Sharon, thank you for going against this worldly tide and by just being the real you, priceless and timeless!
My first working experience with Sharon was in year 2007, when she was the chairman of Kechara House Expansion Committee(KHEC), and I was in charge of the renovation of Kechara House 2 (KH2). Actually, she volunteered to be the chairman in this committee when a group of us gathered together for the 1st time to discuss how we were going to raise funds and renovate our KH2. I was actually a little shocked knowing that she was quite new to our organization and had the gut to take the lead as a chairman. I noticed immediately that she is a person who is always willing to give it a shot, and not letting fear stop her in any way.
And I prove myself right, Sharon is a shinning star in Kechara Media Publication (KMP) now. Not just an excellent writer, Rinpoche once said in one of his teachings that he liked Sharon’s writing style and skills very much, She is a very reliable and efficient person to work with. Whatever she promises you, she will deliver. I had the good fortune to work with her in a few fund raising dinner auction parties, and we had a great time together.
Not to mention, she is like me, a mother as well. Infact a very kind mother to her little monster Jean. Jean, may I tell you how lucky and fortunate you are, your mum really loves you a lot and I believe she has given you the best thing in life, Dharma, which will benefit you not just in this life, but in all future lives.
I was so suprized when I saw this post. My mother was so lucky to get to meet a relative of Michelle Yeoh’s mother. I bet it was like mother to mother. Mama ( that is what I call my mother ) is indeed a very gentle, sincere and generous person. She keeps on giving and giving towards the glorious Dharma. She never asks for anything in return. She never wastes time in her work and rarely takes breaks other than time to fetch me from school. I currently do not have any more schemes to get my Mama’s attention as I get it everyday, I am happy that I get to go out and help her out in KMP. I am seriously proud of my Mama because of all the effort she puts in to her work to make the Dharma grow. I also want to congradulate Mama on the Tsongkhapa box set. I hope Mama and Rinpoche live a very long life so they can benefit everyone else in the world as Mama and Rinpoche are the two most hardworking people I know.
Sharon is one of the most gentle and warm person I have ever met. Whenever and wherever she is, she wears her signature smile on her pick face with a sexy dimple. Sean, the monster, is of course hanging around wherever she is. Both Sean & Shanron have the rare ability to make people around them feel comfortable.
Besides her warm personality, Sharon is a super efficient team player, she is creative, resourceful, responsible and most of all, reliable. Sharon brings countless people to dharma, many of them became generous and active sponsors for Kechara Soup Kitchen. She goes all out to help without being asked and I have never, even once, seen her lost her cool.
Sean please read this out for you mummy : Sharon 你最棒！
Sharon is an asset to the Organization. She is all the above written by different people PLUS she is a caring mother to Sean.
It’s not easy to look after a teenage child and doing full time dharma work. Often Sharon has to drive Sean to school straight after a round- the- clock meeting. A direct result of her dharma work is Sean’s personality. At the Manjushri Kids Class which he attends every Sunday , Sean always helps around and looks out for the younger children.
Sean often follows Sharon to meetings and discussions. Sometimes when it’s late in the night, we would hear a soft snoring sound from one corner of the room… and we know that’s Sean fast asleep, not fussy about going back to his own comfortable bed because he understands the nature of his mother’s work and he is adaptable.
Yes, Sharon is a special lady – soft, kind, gentle, generous and sincere as well as a talented writer. She has many friends and is well-liked. Sharon also loves to fund raise for charity and has done many fund raising activities. Her conquest is the Setrap box set and her latest Tsongkhapa box set. She does not only uses her hand to benefit people but she also uses her voice. She must be doing a lot of Dharma work in her past lives to be able to do this in this life time.
Sharon has introduced many friends to Kechara and she is still her on-going endeavour.

Sharon is a very kind, fast and hardworking person. She is also a very good speaker and has a lot of good ideas to bring out during meetings. She also did many many write ups for Kechara and most notably the Setrap Box Set and the recent Tsongkhapa Box Set.
Despite her ever busy schedules, Sharon always bring her little ‘monster’ Sean wherever she goes and I personally think Sean is a very fortunate boy to have a kind mother such as Sharon and was able to be in Dharma at such a young age. Cute and attention seeking as he can be at times, Sean has got all the qualities he learned and inherited from his kind mother Sharon. I am also very happy for both Sharon and Sean.
Kechara Paradise outlet it brings back so much memory and happiness for my life. Being working as the full time staffs at the outlet have so much opportunity to learn and increase my dharma knowledge. Outlet is like modern temple who came to visit not just to purchase item sales at the shop, it also provide dharma message sharing to the customer to plant the dharma seed to them.
For past 10 years, outlets have brought so many members for the Kechara organization. Under senior liaisons Henry and Ruby guardians, currently outlets has expended to 5 outlets. More n more outlet staff has been join Kechara organization to promote lama Tsongkhapa teaching and our rinpoche version. Outlets has play important roll for people make direct contributing to the sanghas and Gaden monastery.

There are many qualities I can list down about Sharon
Having known her before she infused her life with Dharma, she was and still is a person who loves life, takes each day at a time, worry free, holds no grudges, free spirited, non-judgmental, soft hearted.
These few years in Dharma has brought much grounding and seeing her practice the wisdom of Buddhism is inspiring. Inspiring because she has made so much changes in her life in the pursuit of lasting happiness besides using her talent of writing, generosity and good heartedness to benefit so many with much humbleness. Her mantra is “what do you need” 🙂
I have a lot to thank Sharon for. As stated in my first comment above, I met Rinpoche through Sharon. She has always been very concerned about me like a Dharma sister. I know that what would please her deeply is the day that I embrace Dharma fully. Over the years, I have seen how Rinpoche has transformed Sharon. It amazes me how she can do so much and become so selfless in serving the welfare of others. She holds many portfolios in Kechara, just like many other Kecharians. I am very happy for Sharon that she has finally found something which speaks not only to her heart and mind but to her spirit. Love you always, Sharon. And yes, we shall grow old together, go for retreats up in Kechara World Peace Center and enter Kechara Paradise together to meet the Supreme Queen of Great Bliss. Thank you, dearest friend.
Sharon, a fellow liaison, is hardworking and cheerful. Generosity is her middle name. She writes fast and very well and always willing to write for others.
She is the Honorary Secretary of Kechara House and sits on other Kechara depts.’ main and sub committees
One of these is the Kechara World Peace Centre (KSPC) fund raising main committee that is currently organizing the Dinner and Auction event this coming July 18th at Sunway Hotel.
Kechara Media and Publications (KMP) are indeed fortunate to have Sharon as one of the writers. KMP is churning out more and more beautiful dharma books under the sterling direction of its CEO, Phng Li Kim.
Sharon is a wonderful person, friend, maternal figure and a real gem at KMP. She is down-to-earth and never boasts of anything she has done for Kechara or for anyone else. She is basically the pacifist in KMP and puts her energy towards grounding others. She writes clearly, with a lot dignity and grace.
A lot of people have gained a lot of benefit through her well-researched books within Setrap and Lama Tsongkhapa box sets. She has used her voice countless of times and is most memorable for her voice over of Journey to Gaden DVD. For the Dharma, she has given her talent in writing; her beautiful and elegant voice and has also donated much money to KH, which was mostly in private.
It is such a pleasure working with her and being her Dharma brother!
Sharon is truly a gem, always pushing herself, hard working, no black face. I feel very inspired just being around her. I have never seen her back down from an assignment or even any project, she is very conscientious, meticulous.
Can’t really say I know her a lot as a friend but since my office is really close to hers,hope to get to know her even more! She has a wonderful son who is a shining example of children who have had exposure to Dharma early in their lives. Sean, Sharon’s son will grow up to be a wonderful human being , isn’t that what we want for our children.
The talented Sharon also came out with the definitive English Setrap Box Set – in fact the only one in the world. This enables the practitioners of this easy practice to rely on the protector Setrap. This is a special and wonderful protector that you can’t do without in this degenerate age.

Having worked with Sharon for 5 years, I can only say that it’s been an incredible honour knowing someone like her – to all of us in KMP, she is our mother, friend, sister, guardian angel, counsellor, santa claus…. and of course, succcch a fantastic writer. (we get her to cast her eagle proofreader’s eye over almost everything!)
Read more about her on the Kechara who’s who page and fall in love with all she’s doing for Dharma: http://www.kechara.com/about/our-team/whos-who/sharon-saw/
Sharon is all that the above people had observed and commented. She is not only a fine example of a mother but also a dedicated practitioner and a fine example of Guru Devotion.
It has been my good fortune to know her for the past 5 years as a friend and Dharma sister.
Bagusnya! Kechara & Sharon Boleh! 🙂
Sharon is not just a good writer, she is also a cyber queen:-)
We are very lucky to have such a talented writer at Kechara to help spread Rinpoche’s teachings to the world. Sharon is the author of the Setrap box set as well as the Tsongkhapa box set that was recently launched.
I have very fond memories working with Sharon in a few fund raising auction dinners a few years back. she is efficient and relaiable.No mind games. A real darling at Kechara!

sharon is a very genuine person. i like her very much!
What a surprise to see this blog post and Rinpoche’s very kind words… and everyone’s lovely comments too! It is such an honour and privilege to work with Rinpoche and Kechara. I am so very grateful to Rinpoche for having transformed my life through tirelessly teaching the Dharma – and the lives of people around me.
Datin Janet was really a gem – very down-to-earth and open person, which was so very unexpected. Having such a famous daughter, I’m sure that everyone sucks up to her for various agendas but she was so warm and friendly. Very charming. I will gift her some of Rinpoche’s books as she is a Buddhist and I’m sure she’ll love Rinpoche’s teachings!
I vouch for that, sharon is absolutely an angel & a very efficient one too. She’s there when needed ever ready to help & give the best advise even though she hardly knows me. It seems like she doesn’t sleep too as she answers my email even during the wee hours 🙂 In fact all liasons are superb, rinpoche you touched & transform many lives. I’m glad I get to know you all in this life. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. With folded hands I bow to you.
Sharon is very helpful and caring being and make me feel very welcome with Kechara. She is a dear friend in cyber space and I enjoy connecting with her as well as some other very kind persons at kechara like Jamie, Shirley and many more. Sharon is also a great writer..so many great writers in Kechara. What a talented and dedicated very unique group! I think Sean has a lot of wisdom in him, like is mom and he is so lucky to be around Rinpoche. Thank you Sharon for your big heart! See you next broadcast!
Sharon is a very kind lady. She gives from her heart and always there to support dharma. Her son, Sean has been with MKC. Very intelligent boy who has lotsa questions throwing at you. That is a good way of learning..by asking questions.
Thank you Sharon fr being a part of KH. And did i mention she’s a great writer??
Sharon is a real darling of a friend. I owe her so so much. It is through her that I got to know of Rinpoche and that is the greatest gift she has given me. She is indeed my dearest friend and Dharma sister. Hugs and love to Sharon, always.
