Thomas TanThe Yinzi Beauty Queen Showcase featured a fashion parade by beauty queens from the past to the present and a talent show performed by some 16 finalists of Miss & Mrs Malaysia Planet 2018 and Mrs Malaysia Petite World 2018.
At the event on 23 September 2018, Yinzi Event & Marketing managing director Lim Siew Cheng praised the beauty queens and pageant finalists for putting together a grand showcase.
The beauty queens showcased their glamorous style first in casual wear and then in evening wear. There was also an opening belly dance performed by Mrs Malaysia Petite World 2015 Cecelia Lee.
Later they joined pageant contestants in showcasing their entertainment talents like singing, dancing or cake decoration.
The beauty queens were past and present title holders of various beauty pageants organised by Yinzi Event & Marketing, that included, among others, Mrs Malaysia Universe and Miss & Mrs Malaysia Petite World.
“Today’s event is a showcase of fashion and talent and give shoppers a chance to see and meet our beauty queens and pageant finalist. I am very happy to see them put on a spirited performance,” said Madam Lim, as she would like to be called.
“We will be holding a Talent Night & Catwalk Show on 2 December this year also at this venue. Both the events serve as a prelude to the Miss & Mrs Malaysia Planet 2018 and Mrs Malaysia Petite World 2018 grand finale,” added Madam Lim.
The Miss & Mrs Malaysia Planet 2018 and Mrs Malaysia Petite World 2018 grand finals will be held next year on 12 Jan at Royale Chulan Damansara, Petaling Jaya .
Madam Lim said the grand finale promised to be a glittering affair to remember as three winners will walk away with three coveted crowns – the crown of Miss Malaysia Planet 2018, the crown of Mrs Malaysia Planet 2018 and the crown of Mrs Malaysia Petite World 2018.
Among this year’s Mrs Malaysia Petite World 2018 finalists include Veronica Justin, a Dusun from Sabah, who stands at 150 cm (4’ 11”).
The 31-year-old Veronica, an assistant director in the civil service since 2012, is a mother of two kids aged 4 and 2, and a Bachelor of Science in Forestry graduate from Universiti Putra Malaysia.
“I have always wanted to join beauty pageants but my lacking height prevented me as I did not meet the minimum height criteria which is usually 168 cm (5’ 6”).
“Since I am only 150 cm tall, I can only dream. So when I came across this Mrs. Malaysia Petite Wolrd 2018 Pageant in Facebook, naturally I was very excited because I finally got this opportunity. I think this is the best platform for me to realize my dream to join beauty pageants.
“This pageant for petite gives an opportunity to petite women especially married women to show their attitude, knowledge, confidence and beauty. For me a beauty pageant is all about balancing beauty with brains,” she said.
Veronica, a Roman Catholic Christian, who was born in Ranau, Sabah and now resides in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur since 2008, is excited to be a finalist in Mrs Malaysia Petite World 2018.
‘By being a part of this beauty pageant, I hope to gain an opportunity to discover my strengths and perfect them, realize my weaknesses and transform them into strengths, and take home the crown of Mrs. Malaysia Petite World 2018.
“I’m forest lover. If I am a winner, I would invite all Malaysians to join me to love a forest by carrying out conservation awareness programs such as tree planting and green cleaning,” she said.
Veronica loves singing, dancing, travelling and workouts in the gym with her husband-cum-coach. For the talent show, she sang the popular Indonesian song “Lagi Syantik” by dangdut singer Siti Badriah.
