Congratulations to Sandra Angelia (from East Java) for being crowned Miss Indonesia 2008. At the Jakarta Convention Center on the night of 13th May Sandra Angelia from East Java became Miss Indonesia 2008. Sandra Angelia is an educated girl and after fleeing Indonesia at the age of 13 in the wake of the May 1998 riots she eventually studied architecture at the University of Western Australia in Perth.
Aside from bagging the major title, Sandra Angelia was also chosen as Miss Favorite by the seven-panel jury.
Kartika Indah Pelapory from Maluku was crowned 1st runner-up while Priscilla Yvonne Supit from North Sulawesi was 2nd runner-up.
Australian-educated Sandra is the daughter of Christian Pastor Yusak Hadisiswantoro and Asti Tanuseputra. Her uncle, Abraham Alex Tanuseputra, is the founder of the Bethany “Successful Families” Church.
When the final question was given…
“Indonesia is a country rich in natural wealth but so many of its people are very poor and it is a largely agrarian economy. Which economic sector would you prioritize if you were leader?”
… Sandra won the judges’ admiration by going a different direction saying that the most important thing was to ensure that the law was upheld and applied properly in Indonesia, and that other things would follow from this.
Very smart indeed. Sandra, we wish you all the best in the coming Miss World 2008 competition in Ukraine.
