P. Ramlee

P. Ramlee...

i used to hate him...
because he didn't show what malay people did in the past.
as he potrayed malay people as people who spoke in a schematic way of speaking bahasa melayu (BAKU) in most of his movies...

"di bawah sinaran bulan purnama..."

"mengapakah kau dilahirkan sebagi manusia"

come on... who speaks like that...

but the truth about him was... he was a son of an acheh sailor... so he had gotten the accents of penang and acheh... plus... he never been outside of penang since he was 14... and he was not based in kuala lumpur in his early humble life as a CLAPPER BOY...

Thanks to Shuhaimi Baba for directing a documentary about P.Ramlee...
the documentary is about the life P.Ramlee had had, the early life, rise, rockbottom, love, sacrifice, marriage, royalty and "royalty" issues, betrayal, his broken unfulfilled dream of making a colour film and his sudden death...

i feel so ashamed by malaysian media's treatment on him... they used to boo him and the betrayal of his record company so as lee kuan yew who hates malay.

P.RAMLEE WAS DIED AT 44. HE WAS BROKE... AND BROKEN...

al-fatihah
