Miss Universe 2005...
I was just watching Miss Universe 2005 not long ago and when Miss Singapore Representative Cheryl Tay appeared, it was time to off the TV set and go to sleep!
There is not a chance Singapore will ever win let alone be short listed to the top 15. I was optimistic for her but after seeing all her competitors I guess I became less hopeful. Mind you we are competing on an international stage, a whole new ball game altogether. Talk about progression of the Singapore Woman? I really wonder...
Due to limited resources in the nation, I suggest that we should start to bank on our ‘foreign talents’ to represent us for these sorts of beauty pageants. Send a Eurasian or a White to represent us! I am in no sense saying the local girls are not good and the whites are more superior or whatsoever but we should be thinking reasonably and asking ourselves what type of girls would do better on an international context. We should start looking at things from an international perspective and not local context anymore.
.
Most of my friends agree that we have many beautiful girls on the street, but why aren’t any of them coming forward to serve their ‘National Service’ and do Singapore Proud for the beauty pageants. Is it the bimbotic stigma or that you would be the laughing stock of the country criticised by every local paper that exists in the republic? Singaporeans are not very appreciative of our local representative because we haven’t seen any results. We like ‘winners’ and its only when Singapore starts winning the Miss Universe Pageant would we change that microscopic mindset of ours.
One thing for sure, I am still hopeful for the next Miss Singapore 2006!
(PS: Whilst saying that I am in no way criticising the local girls and I am definitely not an MCP, I have a very high opinion of the local girls
and I am discussing the above subject matter objectively...and why must NEWS ON 5 always spoil the surprise for us, I know the winner before the competition encore even begins what a spolier!)
