Sadly Indonesian governors are directly elected I think? But if his party did poorly and he was deemed to be one of the culprits maybe they'll deselect him as their candidate next time.

The order came fro the top of the ruling party.

I am not a soccer fan and my Bahasa Indonesia is not too flash so I may have this wrong. It seems
FIFA have ruled that the main Indonesian stadiums are not up to scratch for a variety of reasons including synthetic grass. Damn! Sliding on synthetic grass would burn. Are there many places across Indonesia where clubs play on synthetic grass?

I know that this country seems completely incapable of putting on any entertainment event, without canceling it at the last moment or otherwise messing it up. However I bought some basketball tickets, so let's see if it actually goes ahead, and if the advertised NBA players actually turn up...

Now we have Indonesian male staff somehow taking explicit pics of Miss Universe contestants under the guise of checking for tattoos and cellulite?

Six finalists in this year’s Miss Universe Indonesia beauty pageant have lodged police complaints accusing organizers of making them strip for “body checks” and topless photographs.

Addressing reporters outside regional police headquarters in the capital Jakarta on Tuesday, Mellisa Anggraini, an attorney representing the women, alleged that her clients had been asked to remove their tops so pageant officials could “examine scars, cellulite or tattoos,” she said.




One contestant, identified only by the initial “N”, had expressed shock because “body checks” were not listed in the event’s schedule, according to Anggraini. The unidentified woman complied and was photographed topless, as were four other of the women. “It was enough to humiliate and degrade her,” the lawyer said in comments aired by CNN affiliate CNN Indonesia.

At a press conference another unidentified contestant, whose face was blurred by local broadcasters, said she had been asked to pose inappropriately, including by opening her legs, Reuters reported.

The complainants say the photographs were taken with male officials present in the room. Additional evidence such as documents and videos were submitted along with the police report, Anggraini said.

The alleged incidents took place on August 1, two days before the grand final in Jakarta, she added.





Police spokesperson Yuliansyah, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, told reporters that formal complaints were filed on Monday and investigations were ongoing. “The complaints will be used as the basis for our investigation,” she said.

The Miss Universe pageant takes place every year in a different host country, and sees dozens of national pageant winners competing for the global title. The live event attracts global audiences of millions.

In a statement shared with CNN, Miss Universe organizers said they were aware of the allegations made against the Miss Universe Indonesia 2023 pageant, which is operated by a local franchisee.

“Miss Universe takes allegations of sexual abuse and impropriety extremely seriously,” the statement read. “Providing a safe place for women is the Miss Universe Organization’s utmost priority, and we are looking into this matter.”

The Indonesian pageant’s organizers did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment but in a statement shared on Instagram, director Poppy Capella said her organization was “closely monitoring the situation.”

“We are actively investigating the allegations that have been reported in the mass media,” Capella’s statement read. “We will conduct a thorough investigation and review allegations made against us. We will promptly take the necessary stance and actions regarding this issue and ascertain the truth.”
