Previously, before the final night took place on the evening of August 3, Sally - director of Miss Universe Indonesia in Bali province spoke out to denounce the anthropometric test.
Sally said that in this round, the contestants were required to completely strip in front of both male and female judges. However, it was worth noting that the male judges used their phones to take pictures of the girls.
Sally is concerned that if any of the male judges spread the photos on social media, it will affect the lives and reputations of the contestants, especially Muslim contestants.
