Sala 3 features a compendium of works by P. Ramlee, the wunderkind of Malay cinema whose stereotypical characters and memorable dialogue have enjoyed household appeal. In "Four Malay Stories" Ming Wong attempts to learn his Malay lines to portray a spectrum of 16 stock characters from a quartet suite: My Mother-in-Law (1962), Labu and Labi (1962), Doctor Rushdi (1971), The Village of Semerah Padi (1956).
