The Malay Film Productions Ltd., also known as the Shaw Studio, is a former film studio located on Jalan Ampas in Balestier, Singapore. The studio operated from 1947 to 1969 with more than 150 movies produced, and was a major contributor to Singapore's "golden age" of Malay cinema.[1][2] Many of the films are critically acclaimed, a significant number of which involved P. Ramlee as actor, director, writer or composer.[3]
Many of the films made by MFP have since been considered lost.[4]
