MANOHARA Odelia Pinot, the 17-year-old model of Indonesia- American descent, made international headlines on June 1 with her dramatic escape in Singapore from her Kelantan-prince husband back to Jakarta.
This is a first-hand account , as told MAlay Mail’s ZAINAL EPI, by the Malaysian who made it possible, Datuk Kadar Shah Sulaiman Ninam Shah, Muar Umno branch chief, who is known to both parties. The Singapore Foreign Ministry and American Embassy were involved as well.
THE NEGOTIATOR: May 21
I was called by the Palace to help solve the Manohara issue as newspapers and television in Indonesia were crying mad. I told them I would help to avoid tension and save the Palace and the State of Kelantan from being tarnished.
