JAKARTA (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Indonesian singing sensation Putri Ariani met President Joko Widodo at the State Palace in Jakarta on Wednesday (June 14), receiving words of encouragement and pocket money ahead of the future rounds of the America’s Got Talent reality show that she will be competing in.

Putri, who is blind, made headlines last week after earning a Golden Buzzer from the show’s creator and judge Simon Cowell during an audition in the United States. This allows her to bypass some rounds of the competition.
