Beauty queens from 30 countries, including Malaysia, who are in Kuala Lumpur for the Miss Cosmopolitan World 2017 pageant participated in a charity photoshoot to raise fund for Furry Friends Farm (FFF).

The event, co-organised by freelance commercial photographer Allan Loi and in partnership with Miss Cosmopolitan World (MCW) took place at Central Park in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya on Sept 3, 2017.

“We are delighted to be able to support and organise this amazing charity photoshoot for the third year. This year we raised RM3,600 for FFF and we look forward to continue to do this next year and raise more fund to support FFF.

“We are most grateful indeed for this wonderful opportunity and would like to extend our appreciation and thanks to all the photographers, dog owners and their dogs, volunteers, Amelia Liew, Myza Nordin of Furry Friends Farm (FFF) and all the finalists of Miss Cosmopolitan World 2017 for supporting the charity photoshoot.  And not to forget our appreciation to Bandar Utama City Corporation for the use of Central Park for the photoshoot,” said Allan.

The funds were raised from registration fees for photoshoot and personal donations.
