Today in History: On Friday 1929, Teuku Zakaria bin Teuku Nyak Puteh was born. He is known as P. Ramlee since 1947 and Malaysia's film and music industry has never been the same ever since. There are 66 films and 359 songs recorded in The P. Ramlee Cyber Museum. Among my favorite movies are Tiga Abdul, Ahmad Albab, Nujum Pak Belalang, Madu Tiga, Musang Berjanggut and Pendekar Bujang Lapok. If you all notice, all are comedy. My heart couldn't take his emotionally moving serious movies. Nevertheless, I really appreciate him as a versatile artist. The legend passsed away on 29 May 1973 due to heart attack at age 44.Related Links:

Note: This used to be a good website on P.Ramlee, 'The P.Ramlee Project' but for an unknown reason, they have decided to discontinue maintaining it. To Farah Aqil Nayli, if you happen to stumble upon this blog, all I want to say is you've done a good job and I hope you'll continue doing it for the sake of P. Ramlee's fan.
