comedian.Saifulazam was born in Gombak, Selangor on 12 May 1969. His
birth certificate however has his birth registered on 15 August 1969.

family would register him later after the riots were over. He would
eventually be reunited with his birth family when he was 21. He is the
first born of 7 children.Saifulazam's talent was discovered through
the first season of Sinaran Pasport Kegemilangan aired on TV3 in 1994.

plays a caricature of himself wearing Chinese clothes and speaking
heavily Chinese accented Malay. Saiful would later join the sketch
comedy troupe Senario from 1998 to 2002, also using this stage name.
