Kelantan prince let Indonesian model go, friend says

Manohara Odelia Pinot did not “escape” from her husband, Tengku Muhammad Fakhry, but was given permission to go with her mother, Daisy Fajarina, the husband’s best friend said.

“Tengku Temenggung [Tengku Muhammad Fakhry] has no problem with Manohara’s [return to Indonesia] as it is with his consent,” Mohd. Saberi told Malaysiakini.com on Monday.

He said Manohara decided to go with her mother after speaking with her mother and sister Dewi Sri Asih for seven hours and there was no “brawl” between the Kelantan royal family and Daisy’s family.

He added the royal family denied having abused Manohara, saying that what she said to the Indonesian media had been set up by Daisy.

“What she said [was arranged] to confirm her mother’s claims,” he said.
