HOUSE OF CONTRADICTION
Canon Miss Photogenic 2000
The real pageant was actually Miss Malaysia/Chinatown International. The Canon Miss Photogenic was just a sub-pageant.
The Miss Malaysia/Chinatown event was held at the Genting Arena of the Stars and the winner is the lady at the background. The Canon Miss Photogenic competition was held at Mid Valley Megamall and hundreds of photographers were there to participate.
For the people who were there that day can agree when I say that it was nearly impossible to get a good picture unless you were right in front of the stage or were on an elevated ground (such as on chairs) and is in possession of a powerful lens. Most of the people were cramped in pushing crowds and it was extremely difficult to take a good picture.
However, I did manage to get some pictures which passed the publishing standard. This means it did not include the body parts of the other photographers in it.
