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)
