Paling Cantik???

Watching 8TV’s Malaysia’s Most Beautiful really makes me wonder one thing. What makes a woman beautiful? “Pada rupanya kah, pada jiwa nya kah, pada iman nya kah?”and from that show, I would definitely not find an answer for that elusive question.



When I tengok the show, cam malu je cos the title of the show really that define the true meaning. Apa sebenar nya motive that show? If the producers’ nak Malaysian to see that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess I am just blind lah kot cos so far, I can’t see what make this woman beautiful? Contestants who are mulut laser, confrontational, mengada, bitchy, proud of her “assets”, malu makan kat kedai mamak???Again, what is the motive? Oohh…to find the most beautiful woman in Malaysia. And the juries have to find one out of these lots? I pity the judges.



In the first place, how did they choose this woman? Kalau Malaysian Idol, Akademi Fantasia or even Audition, u kena ada bakat menyanyi, well, even if a little for some, but at least u have that as one of the most important criterias kan? ability to dance would be an advantage, well again for some. Rancangan “Mencari Cinta” yang agak popular sedikit masa dahulu pun u know the criterias….the guy must be desperately in need of getting married…well, it is one of the criteria kan. At least you know what the purpose is. To woo the girl of your dream (well she is the only one in the show) and get her to fall in love with you and then get married…which along the way u will be one of the famous couples in Malaysia and also ur wedding sponsored..not a bad deal. What other reality show do we have here in Malaysia… Fear Factor Malaysia which is a poor cousin of the Fear Factor over at AXN, still have some motives and criterias….the criteria for the contestants is u must be willing to eat maggots, bitten by kala jengkings, hanging for ur life on a rope and being thrown into the sea just for RM10,000……so u see where I am going here……how did they choose this woman. What makes them Malaysia’s Most Beautiful?? What did they do that make them beautiful in the eyes of the juries??? I am confused.



I know that they want to make to get high rating for the show. That is why all the cat fights and laser talking and whatever is shown on tv but do we have to portray our supposedly Most Beautiful Malaysian like this. These women were supposed to be the cream of crops, best of the best and pride and joy of Malaysia. What if, by chance, a foreigner was to watch this show…what would they think? What kind of image do they have for our Malaysian women?



I don’t have any objection on airing Reality TV shows but please, do u think Malaysia need a show like this? A show which suppose to show the beautiful side of a women, inside and outside, but so far I have yet to really understand and identify the beauty of the contestants. Maybe I am blind and ignorant of what a beautiful woman should be but I can honestly choose another 20 or more women to replace the contestants. Women who know what beauty means inside and outside and they don’t even realize how beautiful they are. Women who appreciate life and beauty around them and forget to appreciate their own beauty.



Until then, don’t forget “Malaysia’s Most Beautiful” at 9.30pm on 8TV every Thursday to find out what is beautiful in the eye of the juries……….
