Rumah P. Ramlee
P.Ramlee's House
P.Ramlee's House at no 4A Jalan P.Ramlee Pulau
Pinang is the birthplace of the late P.Ramlee. The house was built in 1926
by his father and his uncle, Rejab bin Hussein. The house has been repaired
by his uncle during the Japanese Occupation and once again in 1948. Today
the house has been renovated and preserved for the third time by the National
Archives of Malaysia. Although it is renovated, the house remains unchanged
and still retains its original shape.
 The conservation
project on P.Ramlee's
House is an extension of the P.Ramlee Memorial in Kuala Lumpur It is also
the government's effort inpreserving the memory of P.Ramlee as Malaysia's
leading artiste. The P.Ramlee Memorial Commitee's meeting on 22 November
1988 decided that his house should be restored and preserved. The house
has undergone repairs and conservation, and hopefully it will become an
historic place for visitors who wish to remember the Great Artiste himself.
It also stands as a symbol of honour from the government in commemoration
of the deeds of a great artiste to the nation.
The house has been carefully furnished, in order to present the
likeness of the original setting that prevailed during the period of his
youth. Various archival materials and items which relate to his early life
are also on display.
