The world is a harsh place. People that agree with you will stand by you, those that do not will try all means to hurt you.

Recently and some time ago I wrote two separate pieces that were against the Miss World Singapore, Ris Low and for that I received quite a number of offensive comments targeted at my physical appearance and dictating my language.

"Guess you guys miss all the point on the purpose of having the pageant, it all started with the man getting those "bimbo" physically-attractive but unintelligent woman to strip themselves in bikini for entertainment. didn't we got the right rep for the nation with the Singapore accent?"

To a certain extend this may be true, but that's ancient history. These days it's not only physical appearance. A pageant also involves personality, talent and question responses.

There's nothing wrong for one to not have an British or American accent. It's not accent, Singlish or grammar/vocabulary that is a problem here to begin with. Okay, it is, but not entirely.

Now for the personal attacks. I am jealous, why wouldn't I be? Based on physical appearance I'm no where close to that of Ris and that is why I never and will never enter a beauty pageant.
