Qory Sandioriva
Edit ProfileEducation
She attended the First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Azhar School for her elementary and secondary education.
Career
She was crowned as Puteri Indonesia 2009 on October 9, 2009 by her predecessor, Zivanna Letisha Siregar. She is currently studying at the University of Indonesia majoring in French literature. Past representatives of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam had always worn a headscarf, but Sandioriva did not.
Sandioriva later explained that despite not wearing a headscarf, she still upheld traditional values and morals – just like the Acehnese heroine she admired, Cut Nyak Dhien.
When she was asked what was the best advice she could give to a man, she said "I think when you down the women can make you up, and I think the women can be said that "I have advice for you" if you way up, you have to be nice with people, include women, so when you down, women can be nice with you." John Berthelsen of the Jakarta Globe said "Allowing for the fact that she speaks very little English, Sandioriva’s answer makes a certain amount of sense — put simply, that men should recognize that if you occupy a lofty position, you’d better be nice because when you sink, you will need people’s help.".
