Sad News, Senior Actor Henky Solaiman Dies

JAKARTA - The entertainment world in the country, especially film, has lost one of its best sons again. Senior actor Henky Solaiman died at the age of 78, Friday, May 15.

Previously, Henky reportedly needed help from a blood donor after undergoing surgery to remove an intestinal tumor. At that time the operation was practically successful.

It's just that, the intestinal connection is at risk because the HB is down. Because before the operation, her HB was not high.

"One of the worries is that there will be a shortage of blood and by that night it is stable," said Verdi Solaiman, Henky's son who was also active as an actor at that time.

Henky Solaiman was born in Bandung on August 30, 1941. Apart from being an actor, he also directed a series of films which were mostly broadcast in the 1980s.

Henky has been active in the film industry since the 1970s. Later he was involved in the soap opera World Reversed.

The news of Henky's departure has left cinema circles with sadness. One of them was director Joko Anwar who expressed his condolences and prayers on social media.

"Goodbye, Om Henky Solaiman. Thanks for all the films and inspiration. Hopefully Indonesia can have many great actors like Om. Have a quiet rest, Om," said Joko Anwar on Twitter.
