Shortly after finishing the film, Roekiah fell ill and in 1945 breathed his last and received the honor of Ki Hajar Dewantoro, Minister of Education and Culture of the First Cabinet of the Republic of Indonesia.

When his parents moved to the main Rochani Opera society, Roekiah appeared on stage for the first time at the age of 7 years. Ten years later his name became famous before appearing in the "Palistina Opera" performances in Jakarta.
