Kembar (Twin sisters)...(1950)


KEMBAR or Twin Sisters, was the first Malay film Written and Directed by Mr. S Ramanathan in 1950. MARIAM acted in the lead role playing a dual role and paired with her was M Amin

The movie was shot in various places, some of them one may not recognize today because of the tremendous changes.  

Scenes were shot at The Carousel, the Ferris Wheel and the Bumper Cars at the "NEW WORLD" or "GREAT WORLD" Amusement Park. As an added attraction, the procession of illuminated floats to celebrate the Royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten (20th Nov. 1947) is shown as the place where one of the twin sisters get lost. You can also see the coastal Malay Kampong and the Singapore Turf Club at Bukit Timah.
