Google Doodle Honors The Legendary Saloma

Google Malaysia today is honoring the Singaporean-Malaysian actor, singer, and fashion icon that is Saloma, with a doodle on its search engine’s homepage, showing the day she was awarded the nation’s first Biduanita Negara in the year 1978. Born Salmah Ismail in Singapore on January 22, 1932, Saloma began training as a vocalist at age seven.

Google on its Doodles page today wrote, “A trend-setter of Malaysian entertainment from the late ‘50s through the early ‘80s, Saloma recorded over 500 songs, and through her charismatic film work she paved the way for future generations of female actors in her country”.

From her teen years, she has toured nightclubs and weddings as a professional singer, and then she transitioned to acting during the 1950s, where she had found success as a popular celebrity figure. After marrying an entertainment icon that is Tan Sri P. Ramlee in 1961, the “legendary power couple” would revolutionize the Malaysian entertainment industry.

Google also wrote, “Sporting her signature coiffed hairdo and inimitable clothing that she sewed herself, Saloma starred in movies throughout the ‘60s and released albums for the rest of her life. Thank you, Saloma, for using your artistic gifts to inspire women in Malaysia and beyond to be themselves”.

Google, the world’s most popular search engine, uses Google Doodles as a special, temporary alteration of the Google logo on its homepages to commemorate holidays, events, achievements, and notable historical figures.
