Politically aware young lady Sandra Angelia scores a crushing victory for East Java in Miss Indonesia 2008.
Miss Indonesia 2008
At the Jakarta Convention Center on the night of 13th May Sandra Angelia from East Java became Miss Indonesia 2008, chosen by a seven panel jury which included our hyper-nationalist politician friend from Golkar Yudhi Chrisnandi. Sandra was also chosen as Miss Favorit by the SMS voting masses.
Also Ran
Kartika Indah Pelapory from Maluku was Runner Up I while Priscilla Yvonne Supit from North Sulawesi was Runner Up II, but enough about them.
Preacher Man’s Daughter
Sandra is the happy result of a union between Christian pastor Yusak Hadisiswantoro and Asti Tanuseputra. Her grandfather, Abraham Alex Tanuseputra, is the founder of the Bethany “Successful Families” Church.
Eastern Values Girl
Sandra says she is not at all used to wearing skimpy, revealing clothing, and she is very aware that as a preacher’s daughter she has to be careful in this area.
On the vitally important bikini issue (see past Indonesian beauty pageant winners’ problems with this – Nadine Chandrawinata) Sandra was asked by journalists – would she be willing to wear a bikini at Miss World 2008 in the Ukraine? Sandra says
I have to wear a swimsuit in the competition, that’s no problem. But if it can be negotiated I will stick to eastern values, that is I will wear a one-piece swimsuit.
Smart
Sandra 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. This may or may not have helped her face the final key question put by the judges, this being
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 prioritise if you were leader?
Sandra took the crowd by surprise, and won the admiration of the judges, by going off on a tangent 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.
Triumphant moment.
Sandra became an instant celebrity for nothing, it is ridiculous.
Someone becomes a celebrity because she/he has a special talent and skill eg, great singer, good at acting, an exellent musician, a great sport figure etc…
but Sandra is an instant celebrity simply she was MADE by a powerful woman Liliana Tanusudibyo. She does not have any talent or skill that make her deserve a celebrity status.
Her parents (both pastors) and the gang were so delusive, they have been fasting and conducted mass prayer for Sandra to win Miss World title, this is hilarious, these two “pastors” are so desperate to see their daughter winning the beauty contest.
They believed that GOD had a “special plan” for glorifying His name i.e Sandra would become the next Miss World. If she became Miss World God’s name would be glorified, if someone else won? apparently that wouldn’t be “God’s plan”.
It is bizarre to hear their believe about “dreaming”. You can have whatever you like if you dream it. So before you become a Miss World you must dream it first and boasting as high as you can. Sandra boasted that she would become at least a finalist, the parents boasted that she would win the title. It’s so hilarious đ !
They are all delusional and high on drugs apparently đ
@qisot,& friends,
Sandra became an instant celebrity for nothing, it is ridiculous.
Yes she is and do you know why? It is all because of people like you who never stop talking about her, bad or good.
So, thank to you all she is a celebrity now. I did not even know who she was until I read about her in this thread.
Who is laughing and who is the fool now?! đ
Salam.
In the preparation to South Africa batallions of “professionals and experts” with PhD degree were recruited by Liliana Tanusudibyo in order to help Sandra to be “The best of the best” with the hope she would eventually became “THE Miss World”
In spite of this desperate attempt these so called “experts” with PhDs could not make her even a finalist in anything. It’s so bad đ
A rumor that circulated in the Indonesian church community said that she had been pregnant when she was a student in Perth, and had a secret abortion. I am still not sure about the accuracy of this rumor.

here i am want to chat with you……………
i wanna ask you how you can be miss indonesia?

tank’s for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wishing to partner with your ministry in evangelism,outreaches,church expansion,building,and planting churches plus other projects. Hoping to hear from you soon,god’s blessings in abundance.
Sorry for all bcoz not effluent in English….
Upon Truth, i’m interested to join this discuss because of some facts similarly With my opinion:
1. i live in central Indonesia, my Home just 200 meters away from new building of YHS BETHANY Ministry church, but i’m not joined because for the few timesi come to weekly pray in the church, i’m feel strange and not convenience, why there a church liturgy always talk about money, tithe, give before earn / harvesting, God Will pay you several times if you five more, promises of faith ( janji iman ), YHS ( Sure live With Success ), etc…. This more like a financial / wealth management company others than a church that must focused on pray for God.
2. Many Friends and family that joined the church / ministry had changed their opinion about CHRISTIANITY, because now they fully Pushed to working hard to give more TITHE for the church, to get more blessing from Jesus, and everytime they talk, more to ExposĂ© their wealth and richness, money, new cars, new business, etc. I’m so confuse With their habit afterall.
3. A fact, Mr. Yusak buying many building, land ( properti ) Around the church With his person name, Also many large lands of property Around the city, Also AS personal assets With his name, VVIP service in many areas such AS airports, etc. He and Mr. Alex Also known AS luxury car owners / collector, and the balance of their personal account in many banks ( domestic and foreign ) can make someone ” collaps ” if totally amounted, AS described to Me by someone That have close relationship With them.
4. In the church, Mr. Yusak call himself AS a shepherd, like Jesus, but AS Jesus Said : I’m the Good shepherd , the Good shepherd give him soul / life to his sheeps.
In facts, i’m knowing That The Bethany shepherd Onky comes to this city ( his sheeps ) 1-2 daya a month, to ” fans meet and greet, gathering a special pray on Monday, and the most important, counting and checking the income, finance also his church progress. The Last data, he Also led 11 ministries Below him. Not a Good shepherd.
5. Truthly, without any input from everyone, i’ve guess there is a great conspiration behind the pageant, it Supported by data That Mr. Hary T ( MNC owner ) usually use his power bcoz he had Good relationship With our RI-1, Also ( my guess ) connection between Tanusaputra – Tanusoedibyo.
6. Truthly, Sandra is not BBB enough to voted AS winner, she doesnt beautiful enough, not smart enough ( described when she talk AS TV presenter ), but, THE SHOW MUST GO ON !
7. Actually, Bethany churches / ministry had proven succesfully to bring soul comes to Jesus, but my hope is the Owner / Founder can realize That their approach to money and wealthness is wrong, far from MEMIKUL SALIB, they must GO back to CHRISTIANITY principle. For these time, i see that the succesful of Bethany comes from Good management only,
dude you’re like, 3 years too late
@ Mario, i’ve seen you @ Sandra n Andri wedding day, we’re not enemy. My opinion just 2 remembering the Bethany leader That there is Real God upon Us, his name is Jesus Christ. He don’t like anybody sell or using His Name to earn or collecting anything that not rejoicing His Name. As known, i’ve heard Mr. Stephen Tong “menegur / memperingatkan” preacher of Petra Ministry about their fault and now we can see, there is significant difference in their approach. One important thing, not mentioning someone, in many forum i usually heard That your father is called, i’m sorry, ” nabi palsu “. These condition makes Me feel inconvenient, but yeah, it’s their opinion. I think That they Said this bcoz jealous With the progress and greatness of Bethany, but surely, they don’t wrong allover. Finally, if this condition continues, i ” prihatin ” 2 the Church follower. This condition must be “overhauled” from inside, Don’t wait Until the non Christian says ” it’s so ashamed “
