This 9-Year-Old's Drawing Of P. Ramlee's Iconic Movies Went Viral And We Love It

His mum, Noor Sarah Reza, shared his P. Ramlee movie compilation masterpiece on Twitter a few days ago and the artwork has received tremendous praise from netizens.

"It was Rayyan's first P. Ramlee movie. He came across it by chance, thinking it was an ad because it was in black and white. He then realised that it was a movie and stayed on to watch," she told SAYS.

And true to P. Ramlee's legacy and evergreen humour, Rayyan loved it.

The primary school student has since watched many more of the late Malaysian icon's movies, and Rayyan's favourite so far is Tiga Abdul.

"But the first thing he drew was a scene from P. Ramlee's movie Ahmad Albab! That's how the whole artwork came about," the mum said.

"He loved the movie because he finds P. Ramlee very funny, so some scenes must have lingered on in his mind."

Rayyan then completed the rest of his illustration with scenes from other iconic P. Ramlee movies with just a black marker on an A3 piece of paper.

It has continued to be the primary school student's favourite pastime until now.

"He draws anything that he is currently interested in. Be it LEGOs, space, or history. Most of the time he draws from his imagination and he draws them in his own style," she said.

In fact, following in his mother's footsteps and talent, Rayyan is an artist on his own right and also shares a booth with her at the Artists' Corner in Amcorp Mall on the weekends.

"We turn our artwork into various merchandise like art cards (reprints of the original works), magnets, tote bags, notebooks, and more."

However, they have to close the art booth for now due to the Movement Control Order (MCO).
