About Sayang Salmah
Mr. Jabar and his wife are the products of Malay society around 1955-1960. They raise their children, Hassan and Salleh, to express their love of country based on their national and ethnic history. Hassan becomes active in politics, but his political failure and his father's death make him schizophrenic. Their mother tries to rear the boys well, but Salleh turns into a wild young man. He meets Salmah, a cabaret dancer, whom he eventually marries. Relationships within the family worsen...
Directed by Mahadi J. Murat, Sayang Salmah leans on a strong ensemble — Sidi Oraza, Azhar Sulaiman, Norish Karman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1995.
