One of the earliest actors to have received recognition outside of Malaysia is Tan Sri P. Ramlee. At the 3rd Asia Film Festival (AFF) in Hong Kong, he received the Best Music (Score) for the film Hang Tuah. The film’s actress, Zaiton, bagged the Best Supporting Actress trophy the same year.
P. Ramlee would go on to win the Best Actor award at the 4th AFF held in Tokyo for Anakku Sazali. The film also gave Tony Castillo the Best Child Actor award at the festival.
