P. Ramlee – The Man, The Actor and The Legend
P. Ramlee was and still is very famous and probably the most celebrated film artist that Malaysia ever had. Tan Sri P.Ramlee (1929-1973) was truly "Malaysias Golden Son". ... On the surface, P. Ramlee - who abbreviated, South Indian-style, his full name, Ramlee bin Nyak Puteh was a perfect Malay hero. Alphabet P preceding Ramlees penname stands for Puteh, short for his fathers name Tengku Nyak Puteh’. He first used the initial P in 1947 and later became a successful artist. Some fans would believe P means Pujaan or idol.
P.Ramlee began his journey into the performing arts on the humble ukelele. ... At the age of 19, the ambitious teenage P. Ramlee took a train to Singapore on Aidil Fitri of 8 August 1948 to join Malay Film Productions of Jalan Ampas.
P.Ramlee was discovered by B. ... He was
a 19 years old playback singer who provided the vocals for the lead actor
Roomai Noor in Cinta (1948) where P. Ramlee played the villain. But it was not
P. Ramlee looks that propelled him to fame in the early 1950s because he has none. Ramlee made up for his looks with a baritone, velvet voice that is still often heard on Malaysian radio. ...

By that time, P.Ramlee was already an accomplished songwriter and actor, but he was keen to prove that Malay
directors were as capable as Indians in making high quality films. ... the work of P. Ramlee the filmmaker, stands far above the rest of Malaysian and Singaporean cinema in its innovation, richness of cultural resonances, and connection with the common man.
