Death
On 29 May 1973, P. Ramlee died at the age of 44 years old from a heart attack and was buried at Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery, in Kuala Lumpur.
A 90-minute documentary on his life released by History Channel Asia on October 2010 further revealed that his untimely death becoming a
shock to the nation and a sense of collective guilt following it began
to spread nationwide. This was because, prior to his death, he had been
discredited and rejected by the entertainment industry and the public at
large who felt that he was a "has-been" and that his songs and films
were no longer relevant or marketable. The documentary also revealed
that, despite his previous success in the entertainment industry, P.
Ramlee had died penniless, having given away the last of his money to a
visitor to his house who he felt needed the money more than him.

posthumously awarded the Malaysian honorific title Tan Sri, and then in 2009, the honorific title of "Datuk Amar" by Sarawak State Government. Then Chief Minister of Sarawak, Abdul Taib Mahmud,
an avid fan of P. Ramlee, presented the award to his adopted daughter,
