Malaysia Is The Home For Miss Chinese International 2017! Advantage for Malaysian Representative?

During the press conference, Mr Kevin Tann mentioned that perhaps holding the contest in Malaysia would be an advantage for Serene Lim just like how it usually would for other sports like football.

Serene Lim was also happy to know that Miss Chinese International 2017 would be held in Malaysia next year. This is an advantage for her because her family and friends can be there to support her at our own country. In order to prepare herself for the competition, she’s taking up many lessons to further improve herself in her catwalk and speaking skills.

Grace Chan who was also the judge for the recent Miss Astro Chinese International Pageant 2016 complimented Serene Lim for being a very attractive lady and she has high expectation from her.

In addition, other celebrities who were present at the press conference also gave some words of encouragement as well as tips for the pageant to Serene Lim. Sisley has shared on how she made herself less nervous last time.

A Global Platform For Beauty Showcase!

Miss Chinese International Pageant is the pinnacle of beauty pageants for the global Chinese community. The competition of international stature is enriched by the diversity of its participants and offers a global platform for young Chinese women to showcase the very essence of beauty, wisdom and compassion.

Top Notch Judges For The Pageant!

Amongst the prominent judges at the competition that evening is Malaysia’s very own, Tan Sri Dato’ Michelle Yeoh. Michelle Yeoh, who is also the brand ambassador of Resorts World Genting hopes her presence will inspire all contestants. The dynamic lady who was Miss Malaysia 1983 and voted as one of the “50 Most Beautiful People In The World” by “People” in 1997, found fame in Hong Kong and was also the only Asian Bond Girl.

It was also hinted during the press conference that another renowned celebrity will also be the judge for the pageant, Simon Yam. The famous Hong Kong veteran actor was hinted to be another judge for the pageant.
