“I participated in the Chinatown International Beauty Pageant because of its theme `Beauty with a Heart` which focuses more on the inner beauty rather than the physical and external beauty”, said Irene to Malaysia World News reporter, in an exclusive interview on Monday.
“I always liked to do some charity projects to help the needy and the orphanage. Chinatown International Beauty Pageant is a good platform for charity activities. Now I am so happy and feel blessed that I could take part and help people who need our help”, she added.

Moreover, the Chinatown International Beauty Pageant is also an opportunity and platform for meeting other important people and making friends.
” Today I have more friends and busy with more activities than before I participated in this Beauty Pageant.

” This also helps my business to grow – it also makes me more confident, and gives me the opportunity to meet with great people.
