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.
