ANCHOR: The country of Indonesia is several hundred years old. But every year it gets a new brother and sister. More on this from NTD Indonesia. STORY: Indonesia has yet another new brother and sister. Medha (Medha) and Million (Million) were selected last night as the new "Jakarta Brother and Sister, 2008." The winners Medha and Million each took home a car and some cash for their efforts. But with fabulous prizes comes great responsibility, at least in this case. That's because Medha and Million will act as tourism ambassadors for Jakarta for the coming year. Jakarta's much-loved governor Fauzi Bowo attended as one of the judges. He said that while the event emphasizes good looks and smarts, good morals and knowledge of Jakarta's culture are also important. Indonesian music artists and performers also joined in, with Mulan Jameela, Afghan, and Sherina putting on a grand show. The Jakarta Brother and Sister tradition dates back to 1971. In those days they used to accompany Jakarta's governor at high-profile events. But this is the first year they will act as tourism ambassadors for Indonesia. NTD, Jakarta, Indonesia.
