Mior Ahmad Fuad Mior Badri (December 22, 1966 – April 2, 2010), more popularly known as Din Beramboi was a Malaysian comedian, actor and radio DJ and was widely known as a talented impersonator and stand-up comic who was very apt at improvisation. His memorable characters include Pak Rahim in the comedy series Afi dan Abah and the puppet Kicap in the talk show Tom Tom Bak, both shown on Astro Ceria. He also frequently collaborated with Afdlin Shauki, having appearances in some of the latter's films such as Buli (2004) and Baik Punya Cilok (2005). Din ventured into radio broadcasting in 2008, pairing with Aznil Haji Nawawi on Riuh Pagi, the daily weekday breakfast show on radio station Era FM.
His stage name "Din Beramboi" was originally used for two fictional characters back in 1990: one created by himself and another created by cartoonist Ibrahim Anon for the magazine "Ujang", which became a plagiarism controversy during the mid-1990s.
Din died on April 2, 2010, after suffering from hemorrhagic dengue fever. He was buried at the Taman Ehsan Muslim cemetery in Kepong.
