Mr and Miss Jakarta named

JAKARTA (JP): Cucu Ahmad Kurnia, 24, and Fifi Aleyda Yahya, 22, have won the 1995 Abang and None (Mr. and Miss) Jakarta Contest, held at the Fatahillah Museum in West Jakarta Friday night.

The two beat 14 other couples, many of whom suffered serious stage fright when they had to walk in front of the audience, which included Governor Surjadi Soedirdja and his wife, Minister of Manpower Abdul Latief and a number of foreign ambassadors to Indonesia.

The stage fright also caused some gaffes on the part of the participants. One repeatedly referred to his partner as abang instead of none, while another, in answer to a question from the governor, said, convincingly, that Jakarta was 265 square kilometers in size, instead of the correct 650 square kilometers, Suara Pembaruan afternoon daily reported yesterday.

Fifi Aleyda, a student at the School of Economy, Trisakti University, was also elected favorite female contestant. Born in Jakarta, on April 1, 1973, she represented West Jakarta.

Cucu Ahmad Kurnia, is also from West Jakarta and a student at the Trisakti University.

Favorite male contestant title went to Yanes Aldnetino.

Runner-up for the None title went to Mariam Tadjudin and in the third place was Layla Safira Andarmawanty. Runner-up for the Abang title was Benny Eka Putra, while the third place went to M. Rudito Widagdo. (lem)
