Manohara 'rape' was private affair: Royal Spokesman

Thursday, 04 June 2009 21:10

KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIAN royals have described allegations by a teenage US-Indonesian model that she was raped and abused by her Malaysian prince husband as 'a private affair' between the couple.

Manohara Odelia Pinot, 17, on Monday told reporters she was treated like a sex slave after her marriage last year to Tengku Temenggong Mohammad Fakhry, the prince of Kelantan state.

She escaped the prince's guards at a Singapore hotel and returned to her family in Indonesia with tales of abuse, rape and torture at the hands of the prince.

In its first comments on the matter, palace coordinator Abdul Halim Hamad said 'the Kelantan palace authorities are watching and studying this issue and until now consider it as a private affair of a husband and wife that needs to be settled through the provisions of the law.'

Abdul Halim in a statement on Wednesday also said that all the remarks made by Mohamad Soberi Shafli, a friend of the prince, reflected his personal views only.

Mr Soberi had said the ex-model was allowed to leave voluntarily and blamed her mother for influencing her to make up stories about the prince.

Her mother, Daisy Fajarina, said she would press charges against the 31-year-old prince, and accused the Malaysian and Indonesian governments for trying to cover up the alleged abuse.

The teenager - whose fairy-tale wedding to a prince captured the imagination of Indonesia - said she would be tortured if she did not appear to be happy when she attended social functions with Mr Fakhry.

She said she secretly called Singaporean police and pleaded for help after the royal family took her to Singapore when they accompanied Fakhry's father, Sultan Ismail Petra Shah II, for medical treatment.

Malaysia's royal rulers used to enjoy immunity from criminal and civil charges but the privilege was removed in 1993. -- AFP

If you look patiently at the video, you will see a pair of eyes that is formed in the clouds overlooking a village in Indonesia. It will really shock and scare you!

However, apparently this video was taken a few years ago in Russia. Hence the source is unknown and the location too but it is a very real video, not a graphic picture.
