Michelle Yeoh is the Global Ambassador for the Make Roads Safe campaign.

One of Asia's most versatile leading actors, Michelle has starred in global hits such as the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Memoirs of a Geisha, Sunshine, Mummy 3 and Babylon AD.

In her role as Global Ambassador for the Make Roads Safe campaign, she advocates for road injury to be recognised as a global public health and development priority.

Michelle led the campaign's Call for Decade of Action ahead of the first UN Conference on road safety, in November 2009, and addressed the UN General Assembly in 2010 as it proclaimed the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety.
