Wahid Satay, the veteran Indonesia-born local actor and comedian known for classic black-and-white Cathay-Keris Studio movies such as Pontianak (1957) and Badang (1962), has died at the age of 93. He died of gangrene and heart disease at his granddaughter’s home in Teban...

The following year, director B.N. Rao cast him as a satay seller in Pontianak, a box-office hit which also made history as the first Malay horror film. Cathay-Keris Studio owner Loke Wan Tho then gave him the stage name Wahid Satay.

Wahid went on to act in more than 30 films, such as Satay and Puteri Gunong Ledang , and won awards such as Best Comedian at the 1966 Asian Film Festival. In 2007, he was given a Lifetime Achievement Award at Pesta Perdana, local channel Suria’s awards ceremony that celebrates home-grown Malay television shows and artistes.

Wahid’s granddaughter, Mahirah Mohd Yassin, told Berita Harian that before he died, he had asked to eat satay. His family bought some and he managed to taste the dish.Wahid Satay acted in films such as Sultan Mahmood Mangkat Di-julang with Indonesia-born actress Maria Menado . PHOTO: CATHAY-KERIS
