Yapi Panda Abdiel Tambayong (12 July 1945 – 12 December 2022), best known by his pen-name Remy Sylado, was an Indonesian author, actor, and musician.

Owing to his wide interests, in a 1999 article The Jakarta Post termed him "a walking encyclopedia of arts and humanities".

[2] Sylado also published work under the pennames Dova Zila, Alif Danya Munsyi, and Juliana C.

From a young age he showed an interest in theatre,[2] writing his first stage dramas while still in junior high school.

According to the literary critic Sapardi Djoko Damono, "Many poets have been inspired by the mbeling idea; it broke the conventions of poetry that existed then.

[2] In 1999 Sylado published the novel Ca Bau Kan (The Courtesan),[2] which dealt with the trials and tribulations of Chinese Indonesians in pre-independence Indonesia.
