Datuk Abdul Aziz bin Sattar (Jawi: عبدالعزيز بن ستار; 8 August 1925 – 6 May 2014)[1] was a Malaysian actor, comedian, singer and director who is mostly known for his roles in the black and white Malay films of the 1950s and 1960s.[2][3]
Early life
Aziz Sattar was born on Bawean island in Pekalongan Village, Gresik Regency, East Java Province, Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) on 8 August 1925. When he was three years old, his family migrated to Singapore, where he was raised at Pasir Panjang. There, he met and befriended Salleh Kamil and Shariff Dol, who would later go on to extensive movie careers similar to his own. His early education was at the Sekolah Melayu Kota Raja. However, he was unable to continue his education beyond the age of 11 due to the Japanese occupation of Malaya at the time.
By the time that Aziz was 10 years old, he displayed talent as a natural comedian and entertainer, performing for local weddings and festivals in his village. When in his early 20s, he worked as a lorry driver.
Career
In 1952, Aziz and his two childhood friends were invited to work at the Malay Film Productions studio. Initially, he worked solely as a crew member. Later on in 1953, he was invited to join the supporting cast of the film Putus Harapan. More film offers continued, and he eventually became a comedian staple of the Malay films of that era, appearing with successful actor P.Ramlee on numerous occasions, most notably in the Bujang Lapok series of films.
Personal life
Datuk Aziz Sattar married a total of five (5) times. The first two (2) wives were not widely known whilst the other two were publicly known namely the third with Siti Rumina Ahmad and fourth with Dayang Sofiah, both of whom were divorced. On 16 December 2006, he married for the last time with Hashimah Delan in a high-profile affair that was covered extensively by the Malaysian media.
