KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 (Bernama) -- The Information, Communications and Culture Ministry will carry out a study on the late veteran actor Kuswadinata's longevity in the movie industry so that it may be emulated by today's and future generations.
Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said despite his poor health, Kuswadinata persevered to continue contributing to the creative industry in general and film industry in particular.
"These characteristics can be used as examples for actors in the future. We have lost an artiste who had a long background and struggle in Malay film and drama production.
"He had extensive experience in Singapore with Tan Sri P.Ramlee, S.Roomai Noor and Omar Suwita," he told a news conference after paying his last respects on Kuswadinata at his house in Taman Rasmi Jaya, Ampang, near here, this morning.
Rais also presented a contribution of RM5,000 from the Artistes Welfare Fund to Kuswadinata's widow, Kamariah Mohd Said, 58.
Also present were National Film Development Corporation (Finas) chairman Datuk Md Afendi Hamdan and Finas director-general Raja Rozaimie Raja Dalnish Shah.
Kuswanidata, or his real name Kuswadi Bujang, died at age 74 at Ampang Hospital at about 5pm yesterday from colon cancer and kidney problem.
Rais said Finas would be responsible for the contributions and historical records regarding the actor's struggle in his acting career.
The Singapore-born actor began his career in 1957 with the Cathay Keris film production company.
He will always be remembered as Abang Kus in the film Seniman Bujang Lapok, and his roles in other movies such as Ibu Mertuaku, Antara Dua Darjat, Lang Buana and Gerak Khas Tiga.

When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting.

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There's only one glitch: The ID she's using to finance these sprees reads "Sandy Bigelow Patterson"....and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.
Cast: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet
