ROAD TO MISS GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL 2013
Charissa Chong was crowned the title of
Miss Global International Malaysia 2013
at the conclusion of the pageant held on Saturday at Eastwood Valley
Golf & Country Club in Miri, Sarawak. Ms Chong from Kuala Lumpur is
19 years old and stands at 1.71 m tall. She will represent Malaysia at
the world finals of
Miss Global International 2013 in Albania in November 2013.
Julies Lucas from Miri and
Julie Tan from Kuala Lumpur, tied in the accumulated points, were made to share the first runner-up position.
Nancy Marcus, who is Miss Talent MGIM 2013, has been elected by Merveilleuxm Production, under ERM licence, to represent Malaysia in
Miss Supranational 2013 in Belarus, due to be held from 17 Aug to 7 Sept.
Apart from that, the first runner ups will have an opportunity to
represent the country in international pageant as well. MerveilleuxM
Production will also soon select a representative from Malaysia to
compete in World Miss University 2013.
This is the third edition of the pageant Organised by Merveilleux
Production under licence from ERM Marketing Sdn. Bhd. The event was held
over 10 days in Miri and Miss Global International Malaysia is the
first and only international pageant held in Sarawak and indeed Borneo.
Usually the finalists fly into Kuala Lumpur for the grand finals but for
once, everyone apart from local Mirians, had to fly into Miri, the
second city in Sarawak. Throughout the 10 days journey, the 18 finalists
not only visited famous tourism spots in Miri and involved in charity
visits and activities such as Home for the Aged and the Miri Aurism
Center, they also had their very first experience in self defense crash
course, hashing in the dense Miri jungle, riding a superbike and golf
clinic.
“The aim of holding Miss Global International Malaysia in Miri is to
promote my beloved home town in particular and Sarawak in general,”
beamed the indefatigable and competent Marlene Lim who had organised the
same contest for the past 2 years and 2013 was her third. She has grown
from strength to strength as proclaimed by Sean Chia See Chun, GM of
ERM (Exclusive Resources Marketing) which holds the Malaysian franchise
but sublets Merveilleux Production to organise the contest. Marlene Lim
is also a former Miss Sarawak and a representative of Malaysia in Miss
Tourism Queen International 2011 and Miss Global International 2010 in
which she placed 2nd RU in the world final.
Meanwhile, 22-year old Elvina Tan from Selangor won three subsidiary
titles — Miss Eastwood Popularity, Miss Perfect Body and Miss Charisma.
The subsidiary title of Miss JD’s Personality was won by Sharon Kow
while Miss Charity went to Gwendeline Loh, an education centre manager
who hails from Johor.
Eva Yap, also from Johor, and Quek Choon Chin from Malacca each won
the subsidiary titles of Miss Crowning Glory and Miss Magic Beauty.
Nancy Marcus, a 27-year-old financial consultant, won the subsidiary title of Miss Imperial Talent.
The proceeds from the sales of tables at the gala dinner will be
channeled to the Miri Autistic Association and Zero Strays Miri.
