Which iconic Malaysian sitcom, created by Onn Abdullah and first aired in 1986, set in a chaotic low-cost flats community and featuring characters speaking in thick Perak dialect, is regarded as the forerunner of all modern Malaysian ensemble comedy?

'Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu' (literally 'here and there') launched the careers of Imuda and Khatijah Tan; its absurdist flats-setting humour and multi-generational characters became a cultural touchstone of 1980s–90s Malaysia.
