Subject: The reason why we are not participating in Miss Universe is merely because the SWIMSUIT portion that each contestant should perform. It would be much easier for us to get an access from government to follow beauty pageant competition if there is no swimsuit competition which is very unlikely to occur. Miss World pageant so far is not competing swimsuit competition during final night and this might open up a bit the opportunity for Indonesia to compete. However, situations in here is still labile and the government just keep corrupting the money and people are getting more suffer than ever. Please Pray for us, our situation may not as bad as middle east or israel yet they still can join the pageant. So please once again we need your support so one day there will be Miss Indonesia competing again in Beauty pageant.

I m glad that Indonesia’s government never lets any Indonesians participate in the Miss Universe Contest. I think if you want to show to all people in this world how smart and beautiful you are, you don’t have to be naked and wear those stupid swimming suits. I am telling you that intelligent people in this world are more impressed by what you think than what you wear. And for the Indonesian people who wish one day that Indonesia will participate in the Miss Universe Contest, it won’t happen and let them cry very loud. May Allah SWT blessing us. Amin.

Thank you Author: Texan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:14:52 10/21/02 Mon Hey welcome to the 21st Century. Isn't it high time you muslims modernised your repressive medieval religion and joined the prosperous west and enjoyed the benefits of the modern world? We will crush your religion anyway, not by force with our magnificent weapons, but with our commercial success and products. Despite all your efforts the Islamic world will be Americanised, and you'll thank us for it. >>>Why is Indonesia not fielding their beauty queens in >>>the Miss Universe Beauth Pageant.
