from Wikipedia

Marissa Grace (née Haque; 15 October 1962 – 2 October 2024) was an Indonesian actress and politician of Madurese, Dutch, Pakistani, and French descent. The eldest of the Haque family, she was the older sibling of Indonesian model and actor Soraya Haque [id], and Indonesian television actor and presenter, Shahnaz Haque [id]. Starting her career as a film actor, she starred in Tinggal Landas buat Kekasih [id] (1984) and Biarkan Bulan itu [id] (1986). She won the Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress title for her performance in Tinggal Landas buat Kekasih at the Indonesian Film Festival.

Key Information

Early life and education

[edit]

Marissa Haque was born in Balikpapan and spent her childhood moving from Kindergarten and Elementary School in Palembang, South Sumatra. She then moved to Jakarta to continue her primary education at State Elementary School Tebet Timur 03. She lived in Jakarta to follow her father, who worked as an employee of Pertamina. She continued her junior high school education at State Junior High School 73 Jakarta and senior high school at State Senior High School 8 Jakarta.[1]

Her father, Allen Haque, was of Dutch-Indian-French descent, whereas her mother, Mieke Soeharijah bint Cakraningrat, came from Sumenep, Madura, East Java.[citation needed]

Haque was a law graduate from Trisakti University in the civil law field. She then completed a master's degree in the field of deaf children and language at Atma Jaya University Yogyakarta. She also graduated with master's degree in business administration (MBA) at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta.[2] She received her doctorate in February 2012 from the Center for Environmental Studies at IPB University.[3]

Career

[edit]

Arts and entertainment

[edit]

Haque's introduction to entertainment began when she spent her free time singing and dancing in the "Swara Mahardika" studio led by Guruh Sukarnoputra. In 1980 a film director, M.T. Risyaf [id], offered her a role as an actress in Kembang Semusim [id]. Haque is known to the public as Lux commercial star in 1985 when she won the Citra Award as Best Supporting Actress in Tinggal Landas Buat Kekasih (1984), directed by Sophan Sophian.[4]

Politics

[edit]

Haque began her political career as a member of the People's Representative Council in 2004 from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) in the West Java II constituency, which included Bandung Regency.[5] In June 2006, she became a Rhino Ambassador from WWF Indonesia.[6]

Haque resigned from the People's Representative Council in August 2006 because she ran for the 2006 Banten Gubernatorial Election as vice governor candidate accompanying Zulkieflimansyah, the governor candidate appointed by the Prosperous Justice Party and the Indonesian Unity Party (PSI).[5][7][8] She stated that she had been asked to resign by the party's general secretary, Pramono Anung, and fired by Megawati.[9] On 30 April 2012, Haque revised her statement of "fired by PDIP" and stated that her decision to leave PDIP was due to "something that made her uncomfortable." When she was asked why PAN nominated her for Bogor constituency and not Banten, she revealed that she was "traumatized because Banten has real and systemic crimes".[10]

After her political career at PDIP, Haque then joined the United Development Party on 7 October 2007 when the party held a Nuzul Al-Quran event at the PPP headquarters in Jakarta.[9][11] She joined this party accompanied by her husband, Ikang Fawzi, and Paula Onky Alexander.[11]

On 4 October 2012, Haque officially joined the National Mandate Party.[12] Her move from PPP was due to reasons of principle,[10] while the chairperson of the PPP DPP, M Yunus, confirmed her move with the reasons that she did not want to be at odds with her husband who was a PAN cadre and that PPP could not prohibit its members who wanted to move.[12] She rejected the "hopping" label for moving to a different party for the third time and referred more to being "seduced" by Hatta Rajasa.[10]

Constituency

[edit]

In September 2012, it was reported that PAN would place Haque in the Jambi constituency with Zumi Zola [id].[13] In October 2012, Haque stated that PAN would nominate her for the Bogor constituency,[10] but in March 2013, PAN said that she would be placed in Lampung.[14] On 10 March 2013, Haque stipulated that PAN nominated her in Bengkulu as a candidate for People's Representative Council member.[15]

Controversy

[edit]

After being declared defeated in the Banten regional head election in 2006, Haque sued the Minister of Home Affairs as Defendant I, the Banten Regional General Elections Commission as Defendant II, Panwasda as Defendant III, and the Banten Regional People's Representative Council as Defendant IV. She considered that the appointment of Ratu Atut Chosiyah as governor-elect was legally flawed and asked the court to annul the election results.[16]

However, she was later sued by Borobudur University for spreading the accusation of the university of issuing fake diplomas for Banten Governor Ratu Atut Chosiyah.[17]

In November 2008, the court found Haque guilty and asked her to pay 500 million rupiahs and place a quarter-page apology advertisement in the Suara Pembaruan and Rakyat Merdeka newspapers for a week in a row.[17][18] Haque filed an appeal against this decision.[17]

Personal life and death

[edit]

Haque married Ikang Fawzi [id] on 3 July 1986. They first met when both acted in the film Tinggal Landas Buat Kekasih (1984), directed by Sophan Sophiaan.[1][19] They had two daughters.[20]

Haque died in her sleep from cardiac arrest at Bintaro Premiere Hospital in South Tangerang, Banten, on 2 October 2024, at the age of 61.[21][22] She is buried at Tanah Kusir Cemetery.[23]
