Not many recognise the talents, the work, and the progress that our designers, animators, and production have put into it to further progress what our animation industry can do, and without Kamaruddin Ismail, shows like Ejen Ali, BoboiBoy, Upin dan Ipin, would have never existed in the first place.
A pioneer in the digital animation industry, Kamaruddin, better known as Kamn has passed away at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre from heart attack and a several other complications. He passed at the age of 63. The prolific animator was also the creator of old time fan favourites, ‘Keluang Man’ and ‘Usop Sontorian’ of which the latter was more widely recognised as Malaysia’s first animated cartoon series, providing us with good fun and memories as we’d frequented TV3 to catch the latest episode of the show.
He will be buried in Bukit Tandang Muslim Cemetery in Petaling Jaya.
