When the top five contestants were announced as Bangkok’s Mint Kongraphan (陳思敏 ), Nanjing’s Sophia Wu (巫雪菲), New York’s Mary Chen, Sydney’s Tiana Luan, and Vancouver’s Jennifer Coosemans, it was a surprise that Hong Kong’s Louisa Mak (麥明詩) failed to secure a spot. In the past three years, Hong Kong contestants have achieved good results in the Miss Chinese International Pageant.

Although Louisa had impressed judges with her law degree and academic credentials during the Miss Hong Kong pageant, her performance were not optimal last night. Disappointed that she was not placed in the pageant, Louisa said, “The results were fair. Tonight, there were many things that I didn’t do well enough. I have to go home and watch the recording of the pageant. Tonight’s judges were different from the Miss Hong Kong pageant, so there were different standards for judging beauty.”
