JAKARTA - Rio Wibowo or better known as Rio Motret has left his position as a visual director of Miss Universe Indonesia (MUID). He considered that there were problems during the body checking or examination sessions of the finalists' bodies.
Rio Motret said that body checking in beauty events is something natural. However, he considered what MUID was doing was unnatural and different from other beauty events.
"In a beauty contest, body checks are natural, but as far as I know, in other events they are held in a closed room tightly and carried out by competent and same-sex people, such as medical people and the same sex. And many people are watched with different genders," said Rio Motret in Senopati, South Jakarta on Monday, August 7.
Based on his experience for a decade of being involved in beauty events, Rio questioned the body checking carried out by MUID, especially when the finalists had to be photographed naked.
"Because I've been in this beauty pageant for more than 10 years. I've never heard of cases of people being swallowed up and photographed," said Rio Motret.
"You just heard that there was an event that photographed a girl's body when she was naked," he continued.
According to Rio, body checking aims to see the condition of the finalists' bodies. This is done so that the finalists can perform optimally. However, he questioned the body checking procedure at MUID which required the finalists to open the bra.

"Di beauty pageant, sebenarnya body checking untuk melihat apakah mungkin ada bagian tubuh tertentu yang defect atau yang luka atau semua macam, yang nanti mungkin bisa ditutup dengan foundation atau apa tersebut. Tapi aku pernah mendengar ada aturan harus membuka bra," tuturnya.
When asked further about the person in charge of making a body checking procedure and ordering to shoot a naked finalist, Rio Motret admitted that he did not know anything.
"For things like that, we don't know who the orders are, because in this organization many people feel they have power," concluded Rio Motret.
