i cannot deny that most Malay girls and some Indian gals do look a lot better than them chinese... cos they have sharper features, most of them.... but i can tell you there are definitely much much better quality Indian and Malay gals out there than those 2 thats in there....
I just cannot understand why the better looking gals will be willing to let these clowns in there represent them... -

Look is one thing but in terms of general knowledge, I must say some are really KANASAI. One of the contestants asked about who is Wong Kang Seng. She replied is someone from second world war??!!!! Poor Mr wong, he must be pretty old by now .... haha!Originally posted by AzRaeL:anybody watched?
all i can say is KANASAI!!!
like shiiit!
even the girls that the stupid evilclown posts are much prettier
This also showed our education system is driven by to study what is being tested ....
But looking at another perspective, as long as they are "flower vase", does it really matter if their general knowledge is ... -
at this rate, by next year, Abigail Chay would make it to the finals too

'Not so pretty but...'
Some did catch pageant director Errol Pang's eyes with fresh face apeal
MISS SINGAPORE UNIVERSE 2004 SEMI-FINALS
By Jeanmarie Tan
IT'S supposed to be a beauty pageant. But at the Miss Singapore Universe 2004 semi-finals on Thursday, we were left wondering: Where is the beauty?
Even Mr Errol Pang, managing director of pageant organiser Derrol Stepenny Promotions and one of the judges, reluctantly agreed.
After admitting that they lowered the height requirement to 1.6m this year, he said frankly: 'Last year, we had taller girls who were striking and who stood out. This batch isn't as pretty.'
But he was quick to add that they have 'a lot of fresh-face appeal'.
'One or two have captured my eye,' he smiled.
That's one or two - out of 28 beauty queen wannabes, mind you.
Could one of them be 25-year-old Marilyn Tan?
Sources say that the 1.73m-tall Hanis Hussey look-alike has a shot at becoming the next Bernice Wong - that is, if she stops being a klutz.
HUGE COLLISION
She apparently caused a 'huge collision' during one of the rehearsals while she was 'crossing paths' with another contestant.
Marilyn, who is currently helping out with her father's chemicals business, confessed laughingly: 'I used to be the girl who couldn't walk like a girl.
'Everybody said I walked like a guy, because I couldn't do the catwalk properly. It's been a big challenge, but I've mastered it. Now, they say I walk like I'm going to the beach!'
Marilyn also left an impression because of her deep tan - she goes wakeboarding three times a week - and toned body.
Under the cruel white light at Indochine at Wisma Atria and beneath the show-all string bikinis, the majority of girls appeared so bottom-heavy, you'd think J.Lo was back in vogue.
Amid the meat market, there were slabs of orange-peel thighs, unsightly love handles and over-oiled legs.
One of the girls even had a flesh-coloured plaster slapped over her left butt cheek.
It didn't help that the air-conditioning was on at full blast, leaving some of them rather goose-pimply.
And what's a Miss Singapore Universe without its corny crowning moments?
What the semi-finalists lacked in beauty, they made up for in bad prose, when each had to introduce herself using one of four key words: Beauty, friendship, success and family.
We rolled our eyes at a rhyming couplet: 'As long as you're comfortable in your own skin, your natural elegance will shine from within'.
We groaned at the cliches: 'Friends are like stars - you don't always see them, but you know they're always there'.
We marvelled at the number of doggy-eared self-help books this person must have gone through to dig up this 'gem': 'Success is about building a foundation with the bricks people throw at you'.
Yet, as the evening went on, we were pleasantly surprised by the personalities - not prettiness - of others.
Even though Cara Chew's family is in Beijing where her father is posted, the 19-year-old NUS undergraduate takes comfort that their 'spirit' is with her.
She had spent her teenage years - aged 11 to 18 - studying at an international school in Beijing.
She now stays alone at her varsity hall.
'I interacted with two different cultures - the expats and the locals,' she said with an American accent.
Although Cara misses her family and friends over there, she didn't seem too heartbroken to leave China.
She frowned: 'There weren't many shopping outlets and there were no beaches.'
However, one thing Cara did miss was its four seasons.
ECZEMA BREAKOUT
That's because she's been getting periodic eczema breakouts on her face due to Singapore's humid weather.
Meanwhile, nothing seems to faze blithe spirit Jeyawati Ibrahim, 23.
For seven months, she worked as a motivational coach at a private centre.
She organised camps for children aged 6 to 16 who 'weren't doing well in school', and taught them how to 'believe in themselves' by sharing life stories and through sports like cheerleading.
Obviously, Jeyawati - who also did volunteer work for Action For Aids in 2001 - is a pro at motivating herself.
The cheerful half-Malay, half-Indian babe said in her best Anthony Robbins guru voice: 'It's best to accept mistakes, because the more regrets you have, the more they won't go away. Get rid of all the negative thoughts in your head. Step over all the obstacles and start anew.'
Jeyawati has since quit her job.
She and her best friend are setting up an online store selling affordable bikinis they designed using beadwork and embroidery.
And in what may be a first, there's one contestant who actually joined Miss Singapore Universe not to win a title or build self-confidence, but to meet more female friends.
Lively NUS engineering undergrad Sandy Chua, 19, explained that it's because she spends most of her time in a male-dominated environment.
She said: 'In my faculty, it's mostly guys. The girls there don't share the same interests. Their priority is studies.
'But I think there's more to life than that.'
Funnily enough, Sandy plans to join the police force in future because she 'wants to do something for society' and it's where her 'interest lies'.
And even though she claims she's not a tomboy, her interests also lie in ballistics.
She was in her junior college's air rifle club, and won the national championship twice in a row.
She said: 'It takes discipline. It's a mental game - staying calm is most important.
'I feel a sense of achievement when I wind back the target chart and I hit a bullseye. I like to be precise and accurate.'
Suppose gunning for the tiara more or less involves the same thing.
So take aim and fire away, girls! -
and what the hell?
they changed the job titles on a few of the finalists.
Here are the changes from the Original to the Revised. I smell a Rat.
Yoong Yen Nee
Marcomm Assistant -> UnderGrad
Marilyn Tan
Medical Sales Representative -> Business Development Executive(sounds more posh)
Ferrinn Wong
Para-Legal Secretary -> Aspiring Entrepreneur (i smell Government Propaganda)
Joan Seah
Beauty Therapist(bimbotic job) -> Graduate (from what? beauty school? what kinda occupation is Graduate)
Jessica Rubah
Broadcast Journalist -> Radio Journalist
Jeyawati bte Ibrahim
Sports Coach (airheaded job) -> Swimwear Designer (could it be so many people changed jobs?)

Anyway the all-time Ms Sg in my view is Jaime Teo. The rests are plain sux. -
Sad to say, even if the girls are pretty, Singaporean contestants NEVER have enough substance to boot and this is the thing that you exudes naturally, not sthg you learn. Most of the contestants can't speak properly and this is one thing that irks me. Is it so hard to get someone who can at least speak English like English. After all, this lady's gonna represent Singapore in the international arena and people know that English's our 1st language, not like Japan, Korea or China. With little looks, little poise and poor diciton of English, it's no wonder Singapore will probably NEVER win an international beauty pageant of such scale.
Besides, 90% of the contestants are aspiring ah-lians. And I can't believe the organizer said that Bernice Wong has set such a high standard last year, it's hard to follow. Oh please, Bernice Wong has got to be one of the most odd-looking (that's being kind here) winner in recent years.
Perhaps Singapore should just opt out of Miss Universe and Miss World
Oh ya, got to agree with Bollywood_Beng on the bit about Chinese gals. Essentially, they all look the same to the Westerners because usually the kind of Chinese girls they like are usually non-beauty pageants type, bigger-boned and rounder, -
after so much said...the winner still walks away with the prizes and represents spore...wat to do???

Yeah,the Miss India always can make it,but not the bangala gal yesterdayOriginally posted by Bollywood_Beng:Yeah?....Well India has won so many international beauty pageants hosted by the so called superior Whites...ad one word..The chinese gals in the contest cannot make it...its always been like that...Big eyes, distinctive lips and sharp nose are bare minimum for winning a beauty constest...in that regard the chinese gals though win locally wont make it in the international arena -
If the organisers want more pretty chicks to take part in MSU, why sit around and wait for them to submit application forms. Get the candy ass off the chair and go look for them. I mean even those chicks at Orchard Towers look a few thousand times better than those at MSU yesterday.
And...they are not even women in the first place... Who's Next? -
However... i still think this year contestant quite good leh especially in terms of look.

Oh yes...I think her name is Marilyn Tan. I don't know if I spelled her name correctly or not. But she sure looks sweet!Originally posted by Doenitz:I won't say these gals are buck ugly,just that they are really average looking for a beauty contest.Go to Orchard or any of the tertiary institutions and you can easily find gals prettier than them.By the way got this tall and tanned gal,I think she is hot!
Hmm...I think that GOD is fair. If a girl has looks, then she probably doesn't have the brains to match it. Even if she has the looks and the brains...she might not have the figure to match with it. Hehehe...even if she has all, I'm afraid her attitude might be hell. Otherwise we could be looking at EVE herself.
Same goes for a guy...no perfect guys around.
In fact more imperfect guys than gals around. -
But nonetheless, we should be more forgiving to the losers of MSU yesternight...cos if they are really that damn good, they weren't be taking part in Miss Singapore Universe. And for the organisers who have received negative feedbacks about the fiasco yesternight, don't be too sad, ok? Perhaps, the people who have their candy ass stuck to their chairs can choose more carefully next year.

Judges and from the looks of this forum, the freakin Singapore is racist. The two 'blanga' gals as u so put it, were prettier than the rest of the contestants anytime. Jeya was def more eloquent than the rest, esp wif silly 'popiah' answers. Jessica deserved higher scores than the ones given to her. She def was better looking than some of the chinkys who got in. *sigh* This is why Singapore will never win international pageants. To the pageant organisers, please learn from the supermodel search. We sent an indian (Anetha aiyavoo) and we won the international crown. I think i have a point proven and wotever unitellectual jibberish u say after this will not alter the fact that we are a racist nation. Bullocks to racial harmony. -
i happen to think that if singapore has any remote chance of winning any international pageants, it would be a Malay or Indian girl cos they have more distinct and 'exotic' looks to the ang mohs!
can anyone believe that a girl-next-door kinda girl like jamie tan is n ex-miss universe or the ultra manly-looking bernice wong (picture her without makeup and much hair) :p -
come on, give the girls some credit , it take loads of guts to take
part in this competition...
u all talk until like then go and represent Singapore urself lah! if not ask ur gfs to go lah...or izzit ur gfs are even more shitty looking
with so many of u crapping here and there every year, how many girls still dare to go and take part...? -

well, if they have the guts to take part, they sure know that people will start gossiping and they must be prepared for it, just like the way celebrities are being dissed sometimes. i have met one of the contestants before in real life. she did not have any make up on, i have but to say, she doesnt look pretty at all loh, very plain, even my friend is prettier, just that my friend is kinda short only. is it all about guts and courage or does she need to do some self reflection, look at her own face in the mirror first before taking part?
u all talk until like then go and represent Singapore urself lah! if not ask ur gfs to go lah...or izzit ur gfs are even more shitty looking
you sound agitated! relax! it is not that we want to criticize the 20 girls until so badly, but again, the truth is, most of them are not beautiful. there is nothing wrong with their looks, they all look average/above average, thanks to the effect of make up. but shouldnt a miss singapore be of a beauty whom will make everyone goes, ''whao!'' with her looks? and when asked, 9 out of 10 will think she is beautiful. it is not that the gfs of the guys in this forum are more shitty looking. frankly speaking, do you not see prettier girls along the streets in orchard road? either the beautiful girls in singapore know that they are beautiful and there is no need for them to take part in such a contest to tell everybody they are beautiful, or that they are not interested for all the fame and glamour.
with so many of u crapping here and there every year, how many girls still dare to go and take part...?
hhmmm, dont worry, there still will be girls taking part in the future. and i am sure these grils are the ones who will tell themselves everyday, '' i am beautiful, no matter what they say. words cant break /put me down....''
