GEORGE TOWN: The roof and ceiling of the house where the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee was born, located in Jalan P. Ramlee here, has almost caved in due to a leakage problem.

The sad state of the house, whose roof was made of handwoven mengkuang leaves, got the attention of former Senate president Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim, who posted an update on his Facebook page after visiting the house on Sunday (Sept 24).
