Romantic retreat beckons
BY K. SUTHAKAR
KUALA TERENGGANU: It has all the trappings of a charming and romantic retreat: an idyllic island with swaying palms, sandy beaches and soft breezes.
Famous lovebirds Jean Todt and Datuk Michelle Yeoh have fallen in love with Pulau Duyong and they plan to build their holiday paradise here, where they can go for some peace, quiet and privacy.
“It will be ready in a year's time,” said the 59-year-old Ferrari supremo, who met the former Bond girl at the Magni-Cours Grand Prix in France last June.

“We want it to be a little bigger,” Todt, the chief executive officer of the racing world's most famous name, told newsmen at the Monsoon Cup venue on the island yesterday.
Todt, who appeared in video clips overseas promoting the Monsoon Cup, said he and his fiancée hope to spend some time on the island in between their hectic schedule.
He said Yeoh, 43, who is also featured in the video clips promoting the Monsoon Cup in Malaysia, could not make it to the event as she was filming in London.
“I will meet up with her in Los Angeles after this trip.
“We are planning to be in Malaysia during Christmas and New Year,” he said.
Regarding a “jackpot question” about their wedding that was on everybody's mind, Todt smiled and said: “I will let you know when the time comes.”
Yeoh was previously married to producer Dickson Poon.
One of her most eagerly awaited movies, Memoirs of a Geisha, will be released next month.
