About this audio guide
This guide follows Salmah, a teenager who fell for singer P. Ramlee on a cinema screen and eleven years later became his wife, performing as Saloma, Malaysia's National Songbird. It traces their golden-couple years in Malay cinema, his death in 1973, and her own decline afterward. The bridge above you takes its shape from a betel-leaf arrangement carried at Malay weddings, a symbol of two becoming one.
