Manohara’s escape hogs Jakarta headlines

JAKARTA, June 1 – Indonesian model Manohara Odelia Pinot’s escape was the page one lead  for Jakarta tabloids and broadsheets apart from the nation’s online media, as she related her marital experience and run from her Kelantan prince husband.

The 17-year-old beauty has declared she will not return to her husband Tengku Muhammad Fakhry after her escape when she dramatically pushed the emergency button in a hotel lift in Singapore.

The reports said Indonesian embassy officials in Singapore together with the republic’s police force reunited her with her mother Daisy Fajarina who had publicised Manohara’s plight two months ago.

Friends of the Kelantan prince told the Indonesian media that he has denied her allegations and is willing to divorce her just 10 months after they were married last August 26.

Both the prince and Manohara were in Singapore where the Kelantan sultan is seeking treatment for a heart ailment.

Local press reports say the Indonesian-American beauty flew home Sunday morning and said she was no longer in love with the prince whom she accused of sexual abuse and violence.

“I am afraid of the daily sex abuse and violence,” the Banjarmasin Post quoted Manohara as saying.

Daisy had earlier claimed her daughter was kept incommunicado  since last February 26 after the family went to Mecca for a pilgrimage.

“I don’t sleep every day until about 4am in fear of getting an injection or being drugged,” said the model who was named one of Indonesia’s 100 Precious Women by Harper’s Bazaar magazine.

Family lawyer Yuli Andre Darma told reporters that Manohara has yet to decide her future and will stay at the family home in Slipi, west Jakarta.

“What is clear is she won’t decide in the near future. But it is up to Manohara whether she wants to return or not,” the lawyer said.
