I recommend Bill Clinton to replace Pinky Loon. Bill Clinton is a stud. Pinky is a useless wimp hiding behind the old man.

problem is, local pagenat organisers do not even help or groom their ms singapores, let alone support them in international competitions. which is why singaporean pageant winners never win globally. because our organisers only care about profits.

What a great idea; like how we import foreign sportsmen to participate in sporting events bearing Singapore’s flag, we could do the same for this too! I’m sure nobody would be complaining about poor diction when our latest Miss Singapore is a Chinese national; or about the amount of intellect (or ‘depth’) when the representative hails from India, with a double degree.

There is no problem at all. You see, what the government can do is to offer citizenship and monetary incentives; just as they did to most (if not all) other ‘foreign talents’. Heck, we may even get the brits to represent us – with mouthfuls of Queens English; whoever lambastes our (imported) beauty queen is an idiot.

Then again, we cannot blame Ms Low for her substandard communication (and cognitive, and intellectual, and inter-personal) skills, can we? For it was clearly stated that English was never her strength, rather, Mandarin is. And English being our national language (albeit practised in all the wrong forms), we certainly cannot make her speak in Mandarin.

“I recommend employing Mr. Hu Jing Tao to replace LKY as our MM. At only 10% of the cost.”

good idea? i never thought of that. We just want name and glory!

It occurred to me that most of the time most of the finalists at Miss Tiffany International give better answers than our beauty queen aspirants. And as a bonus most of the Miss Tiffany International hopefuls look better than our beauty queens.

Good idea to employ single foreign beauties with brains to win beauty peagent and eventually to upgrade the gene pool in Singapore.

We should force all girls of school leaving age to participate in Miss Singapore every year. That way we will have both attractive and intelligent ladies representing Singapore.

In case women are against this, because they feel they should be given a choice, just remember all 18,000 to 19,000 men in your year had no choice at all in doing National Service. It’s no burden at all to get a couple of dozen ladies to comply and represent their country, at no risk of death or violence, as with National Service.

Uniquely – Singapore. Can we do it for our Parliament members as well?
