History of P. Ramlee House

Of Achenese descent, P. Ramlee’s name was originally Teuku Zakaria bin Teuku Nyak Puteh. His parents were Che’ Mah Hussein and Teuku Nyak Puteh bin Teuku Karim, a sailor. He changed it when he began his acting career.

He studied at the Penang Free School and got his big break in 1948 when a famous Malayan film director spotted him performing: his career skyrocketed after. Married three times, he died at the age of 45 of a heart attack and was buried at the Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery in KL. He was posthumously awarded the Malaysian honorific title Tan Sri in 1990.

Within the same compound of P. Ramlee House is the Kompleks Pustaka Warisan Seni, a performing arts complex capable of seating up to 300.
