Malay Film Productions Ltd., also known as Shaw Studio, was a film studio on Jalan Ampas, Balestier, Singapore. It operated from 1947 to 1969 and produced over 150 films, contributing to the "golden age" of Malay cinema.[1][2] Many films, including those by P. Ramlee as actor, director, writer, or composer, are highly acclaimed.[3]
However, many of these films are now considered lost.[4]
