Sad news envelops the Indonesian entertainment industry following the report that senior comedian Simson Rarameha Ngadang, familiarly known as Temon, passed away on Sunday (12/7/2026) morning. He breathed his last at the age of 59 at 08:42 WIB.
The management revealed that the deceased had a medical history related to high blood pressure. This medical condition is suspected to have triggered a heart attack that claimed his life, although the family has not yet provided detailed official statements regarding the comedian's medical condition prior to his passing.
Born in Jakarta on December 28, 1966, Temon was known not only as a comedian, but also as an educated individual with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Indonesia. His brilliant communications career began when he worked as an announcer for Radio SK in 1992, a starting point that shaped his unique improvisational style.
Temon's name skyrocketed thanks to his role in the popular sitcom Abdel dan Temon Bukan Superstar, which premiered in 2008. The great chemistry he built with Abdel Achrian made him one of the most beloved television comedy icons to this day.
In addition to his success on the small screen, Temon also ventured into acting in several feature films, such as Setannya Kok Masih Ada and Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss! Part 1. His departure leaves a deep sense of grief for his colleagues and fans who have long enjoyed the humorous works of the man, who had also once ventured into the music world.
