Miss Malaysia Universe 2006
Jul 25th, 2006 by Neo
Zuleyka Rivera, Miss Puerto Rico, was crowned as the new Miss Universe 2006. The 18-year-old delegate from Puerto Rico shared a nervous emotional hug with first runner-up, Kurara Chibana of Japan, moments before the winner was announced, then clasped her hands to her mouth in amazement as her name was called.
Rivera, won the prestigious title over 85 other contestants. Kurara Chibana of Japan was first runner-up; Lauriane Gillieron of Switzerland was second runner-up; and Lourdes Arevalos of Paraguay was third runner-up. Miss USA Tara Conner finished fourth.

Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza, Miss Puerto Rico 2006, was crowned by Miss Universe 2005, Natalie Glebova.
Anyway, I am not going to talk about Miss Puerto Rico here. We are of course more interested to find out about our dear Miss Malaysia, Melissa Ann Tan Swee Yenn. Let’s see how she actually looks like
Below are the many faces of the Malacca-born beauty I googled, have fun…

Melissa Ann Tan, Miss Malaysia 2006; and Carol Cheong Yim Foon, Miss Singapore 2006, learning traditional Thai dance during a dinner for the Miss Universe 2006 contestants at the Wilshire Grand in Los Angeles.

The makeup make her look so much more mature.

So cute and innocent look! Very different from the two pictures above, right?

She poses with Kurara Chibana, Miss Japan 2006, in their Thailand swimsuits at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 11, 2006.

She was crowned Miss Malaysia Universe 2006 earlier this year.

Our winner kisses the trophy. Wish the trophy was yourself?

looks like any other random chinese girl you see on the street..is it any wonder why she did win?…
yep, representing malaysia this year is the lass from malacca…looks not bad but have yet to hear her speak.
this year’s miss malaysia is quite pretty.
for miss universe, i’d rather that miss japan won. she’s beautiful, sweet and charming… better than miss puerto rico. how come puerto rico always win… i mean at least in the top 5. last year puerto rico was 1st runner up.
aiyo..i think i ngeh now!
Hmm… I remember last year I did watch it live and the narrowing of the semi final was different from the previous years. I’m not sure about this year’s. They picked one from every continent instead of pick the last few from overall of them. So it’s quite fair this way that at least one girl from each continent will have the chance to be in the final.
Geee.. the above pic in brown swimsuit really made her looked OLD. *shake head* Who is the makeup artist? Or the stylist? Bad taste!
Laksa,
From her pictures, some of them look simply gorgeous… while those with the brown costume make her look old!
Lucia,
I am clueless. The judges love them, what to do…
Wuching,
Go take some rest.
Irene,
This year you missed the live telecast, nevermind. You can see some pictures on my blog.
The one beside the pool is gorgeous, right?
She’s beautiful but don’t have the X-factor.
Melissa looks good but that’s not enough to win the Miss Universe title. It’s hard to please every judges of this event. Better luck next time Miss Malaysia.
She’s not that pretty for a beauty queen..I’ve seen prettier girls..
What are the judges in Miss Malaysia pageants thinking?? Is it all about being fair skinned and having super skinny frames? We are never gonna grab that crown with an attitude like this.. hell no.. beauty is skin deep not in the melanin!!! hahahaha…
Is there really any Beauty here in Malaysia !!!!! sorry i don’t think so.. i am here for two years, and i didn’t see any.
They all look like Chinese. Nothing special beauty.

This year’s winner Adeline Chin is even worst then last year’s winner… Malaysian judges are really blind or they are thinking with their second head.
Last picture left one looks bondan.. eeee… no standard one
eee….. i think it is true that the judges 4 malaysian beauty pageant r blind!!!!

emm… miss malaysia looks ok, but the 1st & 2nd runner-up looks…..haiya…i know u know la…
I’d rather Miss Japan won. She’s beautiful, looks not bad but have yet to hear her speak.
Dang, Miss Japan is hot and sexy.
She is H0T.
