Indonesian model-wife flees from Kelantan royal
Manohara Odelia Pinot, an Indonesian model who was reported to have been kept and abused by her Malaysian royal husband, joyfully returned to Indonesia on Sunday, after a dramatic escape from a hotel in Singapore.
Speaking to a packed press conference in Jakarta, the American-descent Indonesian model, who speaks fluent English and French, recounted her movie-like escape: she had to stay long in a bathroom to buy time, refused to be injected and repeatedly pressing the emergency button in the elevator before the Singaporean police came to help her.
"They (Singaporean police) brought me to a room. Mother came to me not long after it. I embraced her," she said as quoted by Detik.com.
Daisy Fajarini told El-shinta radio she flew to Singapore after learning that her daughter was in the country.
The Foreign Ministry said the American embassy was involved in the process of freeing Manohara. "The ministry coordinated with the United States embassy because Manohara's biological father is a US national which makes her a US national as well," the Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah told The Jakarta Post
