While in Penang, Malaysia I visited P Ramlee’s house (where he was born into). It has been built into a little museum. P Ramlee was a gifted actor, director, singer and he was a star in the Golden Age of Malay Cinema. His films from the 50’s/60s are still much loved today. They show it often during Hari Raya in Singapore. Both Singapore and Malaysia claim him as their son, so this building staked its claim in no uncertain terms
The Museum presented P Ramlee rather literally
His kitchen
His leading ladies
His suitcase
His national flower
His toilet
