Early life
editAziz 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 Aziz was 10 years old, he displayed talent as a natural comedian and entertainer, performing for local weddings and festivals in his village. In his early 20s, he worked as a lorry driver.
Career
editIn 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
editAziz married a total of five times. The first two 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 Aziz were divorced.[citation needed] On 16 December 2006, he married Datin Hashimah Delan in a high-profile affair that was covered extensively by the Malaysian media.[citation needed]
Aziz died on 6 May 2014 at approximately 02:00 am (MYT) in KPJ Kajang Specialist Hospital at age of 88 due to heart disease.[2] He was buried at the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn Muslim Cemetery in Cheras, Selangor after Zohor prayers.[citation needed]
