In fact, his films still act as references, especially in technical aspects, storylines and also scripts.

Meanwhile, Sarawak P. Ramlee Fan Club president Datuk Dr Adi Badiozaman Tuah said the film Anakku Sazali, produced in 1956, showed that good upbringing, like having good manners and morals, are important in shaping an individual's attitude.
