After reading complaints about MCM on several issues including:

1. Quality level of contestants
2. Poor quality entertainment/hospitality
3. Heights of contestants.

I'd like to point out that MCM remains strictly a charity event (no prizes for winners) unlike the Miss Chinese Sydney or Vancouver or whereever its an official competition - where the stakes are higher and more monetary renumerations/prizes are involved. I'd also like to point out that our Chinese population is no match in hell for cities like Sydney or Canadian or American cities with sizeable Chinese populations like New York, Los Angeles, Toronto or Vancouver. So with a limited talent pool to begin with, its harder to find an absolute gem.

MCM has two options really, to go fully competitive and become a full fledging paegent, this draws in larger crowds I suppose and ups the ante on the quality stakes (better and more choice for judges), that or either (I dont know how it currently works) but Miss HK Int. should really only select overseas Chinese winners with a REAL chance of winning the title and not selecting them to make up the numbers. This will avoid any embarassement for Melbourne or main topic for gossip in the future.

I suppose to a large extent, our previous winners were minuet and this has seriously decreased any chances of winning, note that most winners were around the 5'7" (~170cm) mark - Bernice Liu, Linda Chung.
