Today, 22nd February 2007, precisely 15 years ago, our legend singer Sudirman Hj Arshad has passed away. He has been diagnosed by different kind of disease by different kind of people. Today, I am not going to say anything about that coz it is not a good thing to still speaking about something bad of the departed.
I wanted to share something with you guys about Sudir. He was my idol or fact is he still is my idol. He was the most educated celebrities in Malaysia and I adored him. I still remember when I was about 7 years old I think, I went to see him face to face as he was making an appearance in my hometown. He was such a nice and gentle person. He spoke gently and was very friendly. At that time, his famous product was his Sudi softdrinks and his extraordinary new style of sunglasses without frame. I drank a lot of Sudi softdrinks and really like it also owned the sunglasses too. Haha. I was a real fanatic fan of his. My father just bought me anything that I asked for when I was at such young age.
Sudi was a great legend and no one in Malaysia now could compete to what he has achieved. He was invited to sing at Royal Albert Hall, London and was known worldwide. Even Datuk Siti Nurhaliza is not going to be able to compete Allahyarham Sudirman. Even she also had done a concert in Royal Albert Hall but it was on her own budget and sponsored by well a lot of people I guess.
Sudir was famous with his Malaysian flag’s (blouse?) he wore to enter one of a singing contest. His voice was one in a million that no one could imitate. Even there was someone trying to imitate but the person would not become as famous as Sudirman. I really salute him. If he is still alive, I think Malaysia is going to be very famous in entertainment world.
Besides singing, he tried to do acting as well. His movie was ‘Kami’(We, Us), it was a sad movie and even my MP(Mr.Partner) told me that he felt like crying when he watched the movie. Haha. Secret’s out!! Sorry MP. Btw, Kami was a great movie.
Sudir was my idol and was everyone’s idol. Semoga rohnya di cucuri rahmat. Al-fatihah.
This is the only picture I could find. Sorry!
