No wonder few gals dare to join such pageants let alone risk exposure. The high profile for such shows may magnify her flaws. Maybe fewer candidates this year are perfect. Looking around, there are many gals who speak Singlish after all. Perhaps she is an Ah Lian and proud of it too. Or are the organisers trying to hard to bring a Singaporean flavour to the Miss World contest?

thanks for the utube link. i really think she should just sit there and look pretty. i recall a quote by mark twain which goes: "tis better to keep yr mouth and look like a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." this is one classic example.
i hv nothing against the gal but seriously her spoken ENGIRLISH is truly battered and bruised.

speaking with accent is ok. each of us speak with different accent. however, i do feel that pronunciation is important. if you want to be heard, you need to articulate properly.
