AKARTA: Indonesian born singer/songwriter Anggun is now part of the world figures at Madame Tussauds wax museum in Bangkok, Thailand. She is depicted as a judge of the TV talent scouting show, Asia’s Got Talent.

Visitors may have the chance to audition on the daunting stage in front of the wax figure, which was unveiled by Anggun herself on Sept. 1 during an event where her fans from across the world flew in to meet their favorite artist.

“The similarity is amazing,” said Anggun as reported by Indonesian news portals attending the launch. “It’s done in precision down to the tattoo on my wrist.”

She is the second Indonesian immortalized at the wax museum after founding father president Sukarno.

Noppadon Prapimpunt, head of the Bangkok Cluster for Merlin Entertainments, said many of Anggun’s fans and Madame Tussauds visitors had placed requests to create one of Anggun’s fingers out of wax. — JP
