A local movie producer is preparing a short documentary to capture the life and times of Baba Sohan Singh, a former granthi in Malacca who is easily the most famous Sikh in Southeast Asia.
It has been 50 years since he passed away in 1972. The annual programme in his memory will be held in Malacca later this month.
To mark the occasion, movie production house Sri Saheb Production is in the midst of preparing the documentary on the respected Sikh granthi and parcharak.
“If you have a story to tell, get in touch with us. If you old photos, do send a copy to us,” Sri Saheb Production founder Baldev Singh Uppal said in an appeal to the community at large.
Baldev can be reached at +6016-9077555.
(Readers can also email photos/videos to asia.samachar@gmail.com).

I am married in Malacca in 1968..lawa was read bybSant Ji.
In 1969 Sant Ji came to Raub …guess for Raub Gurxwara Sahib…I was there ..the sanggat to welcome Sant Ji
I had some problem in 1971 n came to meet him in person.
Untill today I still recite the sabad that Sant Ji came me them.
My life changed to a large extend since then
Will send a couple of old photos of Baba Ji with our father, late Giani Harchand Singh Bassian – doing Sangat Ardaas and carrying SGGS Swari to a new Gurdwara in KL – to Asia Samachar.
Suggest Dya Singh of Oz, who received much encouragement from Baba Ji, should be contacted for a “story”.
