Soerio Soebagio''' (18 July 1956 – 23 January 2018), better known as '''Sys NS''', was an Indonesian radio personality and politician. ==Biography== ===Early life and music career=== Sys was born in [Semarang](/source/Semarang), [Central Java](/source/Central_Java), on 18 July 1956. In the late 1960s he established an [underground radio](/source/underground_radio) station with his elder brother.{{sfn|Jakarta City Government, Sys NS}} In 1970 Sys joined [Prambors FM](/source/Prambors_FM) in [Jakarta](/source/Jakarta) as a DJ and broadcaster.{{sfn|Sianipar 2011, Kuncinya Spontanitas}} In 1975 Sys was chosen as Indonesia's best DJ.{{sfn|Messakh 2008, Sys NS blames}} In 1976 he and fellow Prambors employee Mochamad Noor came up with the idea for a teenage song-writing competition.{{sfn|Sianipar 2011, Kuncinya Spontanitas}} For one song, "[Lilin-Lilin Kecil](/source/Lilin-Lilin_Kecil)", written by [James F. Sundah](/source/James_F._Sundah), Sys felt as though he needed "someone with the voice of an angel".{{efn|Original: "''... orang yang punya suara malaikat.''"}} to sing "Lilin-Lilin Kecil", and in his opinion Chrisye fitted the role perfectly. Having heard [Chrisye](/source/Chrisye)'s voice on the indie album ''[Guruh Gipsy](/source/Guruh_Gipsy)'' (1976), Sys decided that he had exactly the voice required.{{sfn|NS|2007|p=346}} After [Jockie Soerjoprajogo](/source/Jockie_Soerjoprajogo) and Imran Amir failed to convince the singer, Sys met him and showed Chrisye the lyrics; this led Chrisye to agree to sing the song.{{sfn|Endah|2007|pp=118–119}} "Lilin-Lilin Kecil", despite coming in ninth place, went on to become the most commercial song of that year.{{sfn|''Rolling Stone Indonesia'' 2009, 150 Lagu Indonesia}} Sys made his film debut with a minor role in [Sjumandjaja](/source/Sjumandjaja)'s film ''[Kabut Sutra Ungu](/source/Kabut_Sutra_Ungu)'' (''Mist of Purple Silk''), filmed in 1979.{{sfn|Filmindonesia.or.id, Filmography}} In 1980 he played in the film ''[Seindah Rembulan](/source/Seindah_Rembulan)'' (''As Beautiful as the Moon''); he was also instrumental in convincing Chrisye to join the cast.{{sfn|Endah|2007|pp=213–214}} He continued working with Prambors and other radio stations throughout the 1980s, helping promote the comedy troupe [Warkop](/source/Warkop) and introducing [tribute act](/source/tribute_act)s of Western bands.{{sfn|Sianipar 2011, Kuncinya Spontanitas}} Sys went on the [hajj](/source/hajj) to [Mecca](/source/Mecca) in 1989. Upon returning to [Indonesia](/source/Indonesia), he reportedly destroyed his collection of pornographic materials, condoms, and sex toys — which he had been collecting to open a museum — in response to his growing devotion towards Islam.{{sfn|Soekanto 2002, Religious awakenings: Stars'}} By 1990 Sys had become vice president of Duta Media Citra Radio.{{sfn|''Tempo'' 1990, Tiada hari tanpa}} ===Politics=== After the death of [Ratno Timoer](/source/Ratno_Timoer) in 1998, Sys became the head of the Indonesian Film Performers' Association ({{lang|id|Persatuan Artis Film Indonesia}} or PARFI).{{sfn|Anwar 2003, Remembering a film}} The following year he became active in politics, being elected as a member of the [People's Consultative Assembly](/source/People's_Consultative_Assembly). In 2001, he, along with eight others, founded the [Democratic Party](/source/Democratic_Party_(Indonesia)).{{sfn|Messakh 2008, Sys NS blames}} In 2004 Sys' term as a representative finished.{{sfn|Messakh 2008, Sys NS blames}} That same year, he campaigned extensively, as the campaign manager, to have [Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono](/source/Susilo_Bambang_Yudhoyono) elected as [President of Indonesia](/source/President_of_Indonesia). Afterwards, Sys found himself seemingly ignored by the party; in 2005 he campaigned to be chairman of the party, but lost to Yudhoyono's brother-in-law Hadi Utomo. In response, in 2006 Sys left the Democrats and founded the Party of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia ({{lang|id|Partai Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia}}).{{sfn|Arifin ''et al.'' 2006, Napas Pendek Zombie}} By 2009, Sys was secretary general of the [Regional Unity Party](/source/Regional_Unity_Party).{{sfn|''The Jakarta Post'' 2009, Election defeat a bitter}} In 2011, he directed and sponsored a satirical pop opera entitled ''Cinta Anak Koruptor dan Pacarnya'' (''Love of the Corrupter's Child and Partner'') with [Rp.](/source/Indonesian_rupiah) 1 billion ({{USD|110000}}) of his own money. The opera, held at [Ismail Marzuki Park](/source/Taman_Ismail_Marzuki), sold out.{{sfn|''Tempo'' 2011, Sys NS: Opera}} In both presidential campaigns for the 2014 and 2019 terms, Sys, now an independent politician without a party, played a pivotal role for the victories of President Joko Widodo on his campaign team. ===Personal life and death=== He was married to Shanty Widhiyanti, with 3 children, Syanindita Trasysty, Sabdayagra Ahessa, and Sadhenna Sayanda.{{sfn|Soemohardjo 2018, Sosok Sys Ns}} On 23 January 2018, Sys died at [Pondok Indah](/source/Pondok_Indah) Hospital in Jakarta.{{sfn|Hakim 2018, Mantan Politisi}} ==Filmography== Sys NS appeared in eight films.{{sfn|Filmindonesia.or.id, Filmography}} *''[Kabut Sutra Ungu](/source/Kabut_Sutra_Ungu)'' (''Mist of Purple Silk'';
