Your comments:

I like none of those local actresses and actors, but I knew him. He was a talented young comedian. What made him different is he had humanity in his heart. He did not mind shedding tears.

He did not mind to step out and help anybody who needed it. Instead of spending his wealth on something he had been dreaming for, he gave it to poor people, mosques, etc.

I'€™m not the kind of person who loves watching television or being a big fan of somebody, but I give my utmost respect to Olga.

I'€™ve witnessed the death of some celebrities in television, but I never felt like this before.

My deepest condolences to Olga Syahputra'€™s family. I was very shocked about this news last night. I couldn'€™t believe it until I saw by myself from TV and many social media.

Olga was known as a popular comedian in Indonesia, even though sometimes he said rude words, which can'€™t be accepted, but his close friends say that in real life Olga was not that kind of person.

He was very kind and had a gentle heart, especially for those who were close to him. He often gave help to poor people.

I wish that his goodness could be followed and we must learn to keep our health as well. Do not let our activities beat our health priority.

May you rest in peace, Kak (brother) Olga.

We are saddened by his passing and our condolences to his family, friends and all his followers throughout Indonesia. He is a bright star for Indonesia and now shines down from the sky.

I am Indonesian. And I also knew so well Olga Syahputra who passed away a few days before. He was a workaholic.

He worked to feed his family and the people around. He was a very honest and glorious person for some people who were helped by him when he was still alive.

As you know, he preferred to keep others healthy and well, rather than himself. He has been called by God. We should pray.
