In 1928 at the age of 21, Zubir went to [[Singapore]] to make a living as a musician, taking up the suggestion of a sailor friend who had described the island as a place of "glittering lights, seller [coffee with milk] and butter". This was done in the face of objections from his village chieftain father, Mohamad Said bin Sanang, who believed music to be against religion. Zubir's first job was as a musician with City Opera, a ''[[bangsawan]]'' or Malay opera troupe based in [[Tanjong Pagar]]. He became the troupe's bandleader. Thereafter, in 1936, he joined the recording company [[HMV|His Master's Voice]].<ref name=B>{{cite magazine|pages= |
