One of Tan Sri P. Ramlee’s career highlights was when he was awarded the Golden Harvest Award: The Most Versatile Talent at the 10th Asian Film Festival in Tokyo in 1963 for the film Ibu Mertua Ku (My Mother-In-Law).

Sixty years later, that prized trophy the legendary Malaysian actor took home from Tokyo is now a beacon of inspiration - for young filmmakers, actors and movie fans - at the exhibition 100 Years Of Malaysian Cinema at Muzium Negara in Kuala Lumpur.
