Rudy David Badil[1] (29 November 1945 – 11 July 2019) was an Indonesian journalist who co-founded the comedy group Warkop with Nanu Moeljono, Kasino Hadiwibowo (Kasino), Wahjoe Sardono (Dono), and Indrodjojo Kusumonegoro (Indro).[2] Before being known as Warkop DKI (acronym from Dono-Kasino-Indro), this group was called Warkop Prambors, which broadcast humorous entertainment programs through Radio Prambors.
While studying at the University of Indonesia, Badil was one of the students taught by Dono.[3] He is also known to be a friend of Soe Hok Gie, with whom they had climbed the mountain together.[4][5]
After leaving the Warkop group due to stage fright,[6] Badil worked as a journalist at Kompas since 6 August 1980. He then retired on 29 November 2005.[7]
Badil died after undergoing treatment for a stroke at the Hermina Hospital in Depok on 11 July 2019.[8] His body was buried in the Tanah Kusir Public Cemetery, South Jakarta.[9]
