Angela,

I have been monitoring your website for quite sometime, it is delightful to see that you have generated much interest on MCCQ within the Chinese community, you certainly deserve my many thanks for the hard work. On the other hand I am really disappointed with some of the comments made by people who obviously have no idea on what the Miss Chinese Community Quest is about and a total lack of respect to the contestants.

The CYSM official website is currently under development and will be available shortly for people who wants to be further educated on the quest.

It is not my intention to open up a can of worms in this forum as freedom of speech in this country is something that we all enjoy. However, I do want to make a few points:
1. The language used has been ugly and was totally unnecessary.
2. It takes a lot of determination and courage for the contestants to enter the quest, let alone performing on stage. These young women deserves our upmost support and respect. So, please respect yourself by showing the same for others.
3. Unlike the beauty pageants that have been held by other cites and countries, the Miss Chinese Community Quest (Melbourne) is purely a community event with a charity focus, it has no commerical interest and is a non-profitable function. Everyone involved are either full-time professionals or students, we don't get paid for the time and energy that we have all invested in past events.
4. The winners are judged based on a number of pre-defined criterias using an universal scoring system. It will be morally wrong and disgracful to select someone just to suit the Miss Chinese International Pageant title. We are proud of our chosen winner(s), they are unique in their own way (Aussie Chinese girls so as speak) and they need our support all the way. Let's not forget the entertainment culture in Hong Kong is vastly different to our way of living.

Lastly, if you want to complaint to the organiser, do contact CYSM (number has been provided by Angela) and leave me your details.

Regards,
President of CYSM
