The Indonesian society is quite conservative, with most women adhering to their hijabs and ensuring their legs and hands are pretty much covered. But the ladies can be quite vocal when it comes to expressing their feelings for their handsome badminton star Jonathan Christie.

The screaming continued for a good 15 seconds till he put on a fresh shirt and resumed the match.
