JAKARTA: No one is perfect, not even the prettiest girl in the country.
Nadine Alexandra Dewi Ames, who was recently crowned as the winner of 2010 Puteri Indonesia beauty pageant confessed recently that she knew little about her native tongue, Indonesian.
She said on Wednesday she couldn’t speak fluent Indonesian, and apologized for her lack of proficiency in the language.
“I apologize to Indonesian people because my Indonesian is not good enough,” Nadine said as quoted by detikhot.com during an event in Jakarta.
She hoped the public would not judge her as not being patriotic enough.
“The important think is that I can communicate. I am studying every day to improve my language skills,” said Nadine, who was born in the UK 19 years ago and has spent the last three years in England.
In October, Nadine defeated 37 finalists in the prestigious beauty pageant. She took over the crown from Qory Sandioriva, the winner of the 2009 competition.
Like other winners of the beauty contest, Nadine is set to represent Indonesia in the Miss Universe international beauty pageant next year, which will be held in Vietnam.
