Sudirman bin Arshad,^[1][2]DSAP, JMN, AMN, AMP (25 May 1954 – 22 February 1992),^[3] or better known by his stage nameSudirman, was a Malaysian singer and songwriter. His singing career kicked off after winning the Bintang RTM singing competition on 11 August 1976. His career defining moment came after he was awarded winner of the '1989 Asia's No. 1 Performer' title which he won during the '‘Asian Popular Music Awards'’ competition held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 19 March 1989.^[4] Throughout his career, he was known as the 'Singing Lawyer', the 'People's Singer', the 'Patriotic Singer' and the 'Elvis Presley and Claude François of Malaysia' in his native country. Apart from being a renowned singer from Malaysia he was also a trained lawyer, a composer, writer (specifically focusing in producing memoir and children books), cartoonist, canned drinks entrepreneur and an actor.^[5][6]

Early life[edit]

Sudirman, born on 25 May 1954 in Temerloh, Pahang, was the youngest of seven siblings and born to Arshad Hassan and Romlah Dahalan. His father Arshad was a manager of a local bus company in Sudirman's family hometown, whereas his mother Romlah who used to work as a seamstress and was also the first woman to become a Malaysian state assemblywoman in Pahang during the 1950s. Both of his parent had also been involved in the business of fabrics and clothing. Sources revealed that he was given the name of 'Sudirman' after by his father who had hoped that he would grow up to become a brave warrior like Indonesian army general Soedirman, the man he was named after.

His passion for singing and entertainment started at a very young age, as during his childhood he would entertain his family and neighbours as they in turn would happily let him do so and encourage him.

He completed his secondary education in Sultan Abu Bakar School (SABS), Kuantan.^[7] After turning down a scholarship to further his studies in medicine, he studied law instead from the University of Malaya in 1976 and received his degree with third class honours four years later together with Malaysia's former Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Patail. He commenced his pupillage in 1982 under Mr Ong Joo Theam of Messrs Abdul Aziz, Ong & Co. He was called to the Bar in 1984 in and commenced practice thereafter, though he left due to lack of interest.

It was during his period of studying law that he managed to juggle time between singing and tutorial classes. His big break came when he entered Johan Bintang RTM, a singing competition organised by public broadcaster Radio Televisyen Malaysia held in Malacca in August 1976, where he swooned the audience with his spontaneous sense of humour and melodious singing.

Career[edit]

Music[edit]

Possessing of a clear piercing tenor with a surprising breadth of range and dynamic control especially at the extreme high end, Sudirman's voice was instantly recognisable every time one of his songs are played in local radio or television. His ability to act through his voice is evident from songs such as 'Bercanda di Pasiran Pantai', a Latin-flavoured duet with Anita Sarawak which displayed the sultry quality of his voice. His unique talents had helped him to win many local competitions from Bintang RTM Best Singer (1976) to Muzik-Muzik TV3 Best Performer and Berita Harian Popularity contest Most Popular Artist voted by fans. He topped Malaysian, Brunei and Indonesia charts with songs such as 'Merisik Khabar', 'Milik Siapakah Gadis Ini' and 'Salam Terakhir'.^[8] Songwriters who have supported him in the past include S. Atan, Manan Ngah, Michael Veerapan and Syed Harun. Even today, his songs are popularly played especially during National Day and Eid-ul-Fitr.

Sudirman was also the first Malaysian singer to perform at The Paddock at the Hilton of Kuala Lumpur in 1983^[9] and was the singing ambassador for companies such as Proton, Malaysia Airlines, Honda and honoured pioneer card member with Hong Leong Bank. He was known for his versatility and sang Malay, Indian, Chinese and English songs with outstanding choreography. He was even known for sketching portraits of his fans while singing.

Local musicians who have played for him include Alex Boon, Jay Jay (singer guitarist), Hillary Ang, Ricky Omar, Fauzi Marzuki, Michael Veerapan, Mac Chiew and Jenny Chin. Local women who have performed with him as his dancers (whom he refers to as 'The Girls') include Joanne (Zainal Abidin's wife), supermodel the late Samantha Schubert and Linda Jasmine Hashim (now one of the leading dancing choreographer cum teacher in Malaysia's reality TV program show Akademi Fantasia).

Some Muslim fundamentalists and leftists detested his concert performances. Some even threatened and distributed warning pamphlets of 'something would happen' during his Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Bangi concert to deter people from attending. The concert was postponed following protests from the UKM students union body, its academic staff association and the dean of the Islamic Studies faculty and six other student bodies. This incident was captured by Zainuddin Maidin (then journalist, now former Minister of Information) in his book 'The Other Side of Mahathir'. He narrated that the then-Prime Minister Mahathir had called a few ministers to his residence to review the situation as the issue reflected Malaysia's position in terms of modernisation. The meeting led to the conclusion that the show had to be allowed to go on. Sudirman's fans turned up in force. He went about pleasing the crowd, crooning his hits. One campus resident said, 'At last something alive has come here.' The negativity surrounding the UKM incident was not long-lasting. Ironically, a couple of years after Sudirman's death in 1992, UKM held a Sudirman karaoke competition.

Sudirman produced an album for his favourite nephew, Razman Azrai, under Sudirman Productions. Also known as Atai, he had a couple of hit songs that topped the charts in 1985. Atai also performed for Malaysia Day in 2014, Chow Kit Road concert 2.0 in 2016 and in SEA Games in 2017.

In April 1983, Sudirman sang a song for the late Puan Sri Saloma titled 'Mama'. When Sudirman approached her shortly before her death, Saloma expressed her disbelief with tears – that someone like Sudirman would still remember and make a song solely for her.

On 14 April 1986, Sudirman held an open-air concert on Chow Kit Road, which was the first time ever that a street concert drew a 100,000-strong crowd on a Monday night. It jammed the stretch of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Raja Muda to Jalan Raja Alang. Tan Sri Zaman Khan the Head of KL police then mentioned 'the crowd was so huge that we were praying at the office that it would be controlled' Several fans fainted in the crowd, a few suffocated and were rushed to the hospital. Fans was seen not only on streets but on top of roofs and trees. A Malaysian English tabloid, The Star, wrote that 'Kuala Lumpur came to a standstill and it had nothing to do with the recession, but with one man, Malaysia's top entertainer, an electrifying performance and most memorable night'.^[10]

Sudirman's songs topped the charts with every new album that he released. There was a time when his song 'Merisik Khabar' climbed up to the No. 1 position for two months while his second song 'Milik Siapa Gadis Ini' from the same album came in second and stayed at the top for a few weeks after 'Merisik Khabar'.

In 1989, Sudirman won the title 'Best Performer' at the Asia Music Award 1989 contest at the Royal Albert Hall in London, defeating among other contenders Cantopop legend Leslie Cheung, Anita Sarawak , Japanese singer-songwriter Epo and Filipino pop singer Kuh Ledesma .^[11] Judges include Sinitta Renau Malone, mentor in Britain famous TV program, UK X factor and was dating Simon Cowell of American Idol. Other prominent judges include Chairman of BPI British Phonographic Industry Peter Jamieson, Dutch singer C.C. Catch and James Fisher Director of European Collection Body ASCAP

He was chosen to solely perform for the closing ceremony of the Southeast Asian Games on the same year and many others such as the opening ceremony of Sepak Takraw competition, Merdeka, New Year and other national functions. In most cases, he would use his own money to ensure a successful concert.

Sudirman Arshad also had a strong fanbase in Singapore. His concert there resulted in a large turnout at the Kallang National Stadium in August 1987. People came from all classes, races and ages. Kelvin Tan Look Siew, Director of Singapore Armed Forces Music & Drama company, said, 'We wanted to bring down a prominent artist from the region and Sudirman's name automatically cropped up.'

EMI London took him on to work together with Stock, Aitken & Waterman (British producer trio who took on Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Rick Astley) with a song titled 'Love Will Find a Way', released on the album Rising by Donovan. Vic Lanza, manager of WHAM (duet of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) pronounced Sudirman as the institution of Malaysian Music industry. He was brought to The Beatles famous Abbey Road Studios and recorded the album, but died soon afterwards.

Literatures[edit]

Sudirman Arshad wrote his autobiography Dari Dalam Sudir,comic book Sejarah Awal Sudirman in addition to some cartoons and weekly columns for magazines and some local newspapers such as Karangkraf.

One of his books for children titled 'Taming Si Budak Pintar' was recognised the best by Mobil-Mabopa, a Mobil Oil book writing competition.

Moreover, he was also a journalist and columnist, who wrote on various serious issues. One journalist puts it, 'It was quite difficult for us to concentrate on our job. The person sitting across the table during the meeting is a celebrity!' Those he interviewed include Tun Ghafar Baba.

Acting[edit]

One of the film's tracks, 'Pelangi Petang' has since been heralded as one of his iconic works.^[12][13]

This program was sponsored by Singer Malaysia, a subsidiary of Singer Corporation (before it was taken over by Berjaya Group in 1989).

Charity work[edit]
