Maria
Selena from Central Java was crowned as the new Miss Indonesia on Friday.
Maria, who
beat 37 finalists from 33 provinces, was crowned by last year’s Miss Indonesia
Nadine Alexandra and Miss World Leila Lopes from Angola.
The first
runner-up was Liza Elly from East Java and the second runner-up was Andri
Tentri from South Sulawesi.
Maria, a
business major at Bandung’s Institute of Technology and a basketball player,
said she would use her new title to contribute to the public.
“I am
grateful for my victory and I want to contribute to people socially. I may have
to take a break from my studies, but I’m willing to take the risk because this
victory is my first step. I haven’t given becoming a model much thought,” she
said.
Maria will
represent Indonesia at the 2012 Miss Universe competition. The location of the
event has not been decided, but reports suggest that the event’s organizers
have set their eyes on Panama City.
