P. Ramlee is probably the most famous entertainer from Malaysia. While mostly known as a director and actor in silly, unique Malaysian movies from the 1950s to the 1970s, P. Ramlee was a bit of a renaissance man. Add musician, singer, songwriter, scriptwriter, composer, producer to his resume. Not to mention just good ol' fashioned showman. His charisma dominated swanky Malaysia for two decades.
Of course, P. Ramlee came from humble beginnings way out in the provinces. He was born in 1929 and lived in this traditional wooden kampong house as a child.
The home is now a little museum with re-created period rooms. Bedroom desk and kitchen.
Adjacent to the house is a small museum, filled mostly with biographical text and pics.
A few possessions have been preserved. Tools of a gunslinger entertainer - typewriter and suitcase.
Portrait of the man. A rakish legend, a well-deserved, enduring reputation.
