Puteri Indonesia (literally translates into “Princess of Indonesia”), as also known as Miss Indonesia Universe, is one of the two biggest beauty pageants in Indonesia, as well as the oldest one.
Puteri Indonesia pageant began delegating its winner to Miss Universe in 1995, but by 1996, the winner was forced to withdraw from competing in the Miss Universe pageant by Mrs. Tien Suharto, who was the wife of the late second president of the Republic of Indonesia, Suharto.
With Suharto overthrown, in 2005, Puteri Indonesia resumed to send the winner of this pageant to Miss Universe 2005. In 2006, in addition to sending the winner Miss Universe 2006, the first runner up was sent to Miss World 2005. In 2006, however, Puteri Indonesia lost the franchise of Miss World. Nowadays, its winner will still be sent to Miss Universe, its first runner up to Miss Asia Pacific International, and its second runner up to Miss International.
