Shocking Confession from an Indonesian Ex-ASEAN Scholarship Recipient
The article’s headline shook social media overnight.
Martha, the accused, was in panic. Her past carelessness had resurfaced. As a Computer Science graduate, how could she have left a digital footprint that now haunted her, with the threat of prison looming?
Her marriage was in turmoil, her freedom was at risk, and her children faced losing their mother—all because Martha had played “25 Questions About Me” on her blog over a decade ago and had been too honest when answering the question: “What is the wildest thing you’ve ever done when you were 17 years old?”
"I forged a legal document. Later, I used it to apply for a scholarship, and I got accepted!"
