- Michelle ranked No.7 in Malaysia's Most Trusted List, a recent survey conducted by Reader's Digest Asia to find out the most trusted personalities in various countries.

- Last year we reported that Michelle was invited to star as the legendary heroine Mu Gui Ying in Jun Ling Ru Shan, a period film based on historical story of warriors of the Yang family in Song Dynasty. In June 2009 Hong Kong director Frankie Chan confirmed that he invited Michelle and Audy Lau for the film. In August, an open casting call for some of the supporting roles took place in several cities and it was announced the production would start at the end of 2009. The open casting call was halted when Michelle's Reign of Assassins was officially announced (filming began in November 2009) and no new developments have been heard since. Apparently Michelle did not formally sign onto the project.   (see earlier reports from last year's news on April 17, May 9, June 9, and July 10)

Recently some Hong Kong/Chinese media reported Michelle is involved in another film project based on the same story. At the beginning of this year, news reports said Golden Harvest will shoot a US$20 million film, Yang Men Nyu Jiang (translated to "Women Warriors of the Yang Family" or "Lady Generals of the Yang Family"), with Hong Kong director Ronny Yu (Fearless). Hong Kong's "Apple Daily" reported that Michelle is in talks with the project. The production is rumored to start in May.

Both projects have been registered with China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and both scripts have been approved by the authorities.

- The UN General Assembly held a debate on global road safety today in New York. The meeting approved a UN Decade of Action for Road Safety, the main project of the Make Roads Safe campaign which Michelle has been leading.

Michelle addressed the general assembly during the debate: "Last November in Moscow, the world came together to decide that the time has come for action. It was thrilling to see so many leaders from every corner of the world committing to make road safety a priority. All of us who care about and have worked for safer roads have traveled a long journey together. Today is the latest and the greatest stage of that journey when the United Nations commits to a decade of Action for Road Safety."
      "Every day at least 2000 children, of school age, are killed or seriously injured on the world's roads. All the forecasts point to this toll doubling in the coming years. By making road safety a priority over the next decade we have the potential to save millions of lives, and to prevent many millions of injuries and disabilities. This UN Decade of Action for Road Safety provides us with a real opportunity to change direction."

Michelle said her role as ambassador for the Make Roads Safe global campaign was the most important of her career.
