P. Ramlee Memorial
Ask anyone in Malaysia of the
late Tan Sri P. Ramlee, and
chances are you'll get
references of his famous
films
' Bujang Lapok', 'Madu Tiga'
or even the funny 'Keluarga
69'. The late P. Ramlee was
an
extraordinary artiste; he was
an actor, singer, composer
and
director.
The great actor passed away
on
29 May 1973. Today, his house
comes under the care of the
Malaysian government, and is
considered a proud national
heritage.
The house has been turned
into
a memorial, dedicated to the
preservation of his memory
and
of his late wife, the
talented
actress, Saloma.
There are collections of
personal memorabilia of the
late actor; awards, photos,
personal artefacts and a rare
glimpse into the past of a
man
who rose from humble
beginnings and easily made
friends with anyone.
