MIRI: In a week, the city will once again bask in the Miri May Fest (MMF) although the event is expected to be less grand than last year’s.
It is understood that the launch will be low-key simply because it is just another year, unlike last year’s which coincided with the 100th anniversary of oil discovery in Miri.
Last year, more than 50 events were lined up – this time there are just 30.
Nonetheless, the organisers of the MMF’s highlight, the Miss Global International Malaysia (MGIM) 2011, are not perturbed by the shorter list of events.
The MGIM organisers, who call themselves Marlene, Wong, Xiao Jie & A Group of Passionate Young Peeps, said that their 18 beauties, with ages ranging between 18 and 26 and with average height of between 5’5” and 5’10” from all over Malaysia, were certain to draw the crowd.
“All finalists are well-versed in more than two languages, 100% well-educated, 90% in institutions of higher learning, 60% of mixed parentage and half of them first-timers in beauty pageant,” said Marlene Lim.
She said the beauty queen would be heading to Jamaica on Sept 21 for the world finals.
