395035A few days ago I submitted a comment on this story, but it has not been approved for some reason. The comments so far are really immature and add nothing useful for your Globe readers. My comment, on the other hand, pointed out the similarity to another scandal involving an Indonesian beauty pageant contestant, and provided a link to more news articles about it, including an article by The Globe. So why has my comment not appeared? Is there a policy reason or is it simply because I'm a foreigner? I use my full legal name, unlike all the other commentors, provide useful information, and yet I'm censored for some unknown reason. I just don't get it. Are Globe staff afraid of me or something, because in the past they have even refused to communicate with me when I was writing my own article about the scandal with Miss Indonesia?
Sad indeed, hope just my wife doesn't see that... :-)
what kind of mystical sect hu?
Roland - sad innit.
Lucky old bugger Mr "R"!!!
Fariawati, the mother of Miss Indonesia 2010 Qory Sandioriva, has denied reports that her daughter ran away from home. She revealed, however, that Qory had changed after befriending a 65-year-old man identified only as R.
“I need some peace,” Fariawati said. “She’s not married yet and still lives with us so she is our responsibility. I want to straighten matters, as rumors are already circulating about her. I do not mean to disgrace my own daughter.”
She suspects that Qori has joined a sect, as she has often found her daughter performing mystic rituals.
In an interview with online news portal Detik.com, Qory, who represented Indonesia at the recent Miss Universe pageant, denied her mother’s allegations.
“I love my parents and will settle this problem with them in due time. Now I need to calm down and let all the tension recede,” she said.
Qory said she now lives by herself in an apartment because “it enables me to live independently and is the most convenient place to live on this tight schedule.”
