Remembering our idols — P. Ramlee


A portrait of the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee in the 1950s, which was among those featured in the limited edition postcard sets launched at the late artiste's house at Jalan P. Ramlee, George Town, Penang on Thursday (May 29). (Charles Mariasoosay - 29/05/2014)

THERE really is no other. The late Tan Sri P. Ramlee set the bar so high that every other Malaysian in the entertainment industry has made it their benchmark to do as well as he did, although none have quite reached that same height even 41 years after his passing.

Born in Penang, P. Ramlee composed a total of 401 songs and was involved in 66 films throughout his career. The films he wrote, directed and starred in remain entertaining till today.
