Indeed, there is no replacement for an artist called P.Ramlee. The contributions he has given to the country were countless by the fingers. Even there are million artists come after him, it won't be the same. On the other hand, there are lots of things done especially by artist nowadays to remember and appreciate P.Ramlee's works.
Among the appreciations is:
- Jamal Abdillah, King of Pop held tribute concert of P.Ramlee.
"KUALA LUMPUR 21 Mac - Pentas Istana Budaya di ibu negara bakal menjadi medan bagi Raja Pop Malaysia, Jamal Abdillah untuk menjayakan konsert solo beliau Konsert Ekstravaganza Jamal Abdillah pada 30, 31 Mei, 1 dan 2 Jun ini.
Menurut Jamal, tujuan beliau mengadakan konsert itu adalah bagi menghargai dan mengenang hasil karya Allahyarham Tan Sri P. Ramlee yang telah 40 tahun meninggalkan kita.
Beliau berkata, dirinya terpanggil untuk meneruskan legasi lagu-lagu Allahyarham supaya ia sentiasa hidup dalam jiwa generasi hari ini dan akan datang.
"Saya mengumpamakan diri saya sebagai penyambung jiwa P. Ramlee yang terhenti. Maka itulah saya sanggup berkorban mengeluarkan duit hasil titik peluh saya sendiri untuk mengadakan konsert ini yang menelan belanja hampir RM500, 000", kata Jamal pada sidang akhbar yang diadakan di Istana Budaya di sini hari ini.
Hadir sama pada majlis itu, Ketua Pengarah Istana Budaya, Datuk Juhari Shaarani; Pengarah Muzik konsert ekstravaganza Jamal, Leonard Yeap; dan Pengarah Muzik UiTM, Razali Mustafa.
Jamal berkata, walaupun tiada penaja yang menyumbang kepada konsert solo beliau, namun jika ada syarikat korporat yang mahu membeli tiket, ia amatlah dialu-alukan.
Katanya lagi, beliau merancang untuk membuat sebuah konsert sempena memperingati Allahyarham Datuk Ahmad Jais. - UTUSAN ONLINE"

Berkorban Apa Saja
Engkau Laksana Bulan
In other words, the name of P.Ramlee will not be missing with the time passing. It will always be mentioned by people as along as we keep telling about him to each new generation. This wonderful history may fade and lose if people do not spread and deliver the tale to others. We shouldn't forget those who have served good towards the country and put the name of Malaysia at the top.
As one of Malaysians, I feel so proud and lucky to have such a beautiful and great history of a well-known artist to be told to the next generation after me, maybe my kids or my grandchildren later on, Inshaallah. Who knows, these generations will be the connector of talents owned by P.ramlee someday. Thus, Malaysia will have the new artist with '1001' abilities.
