Samadikun replied:
I think to face that, my formula is and always has been the same; E plus R equals O, that is Event plus Response equals Outcome. Therefore, no matter what kind of challenges I may face, when I decide to put a positive response, I will get a positive outcome as well. That, to me, is integrity.[10]
After winning Miss Indonesia, Samadikun represented Indonesia at Miss World 2018 in China.[11]
