MIRI: Organisers of Yeo’s Natural Beauty Contest presented prize to the second-placed winner of the competition, Angel Chin, 19, here yesterday.
Angel, accompanied by photographer Lex Teo, both from Miri, received the RM2,000 prize money from See Hua Marketing ( Miri branch manager) Wong Kee Mee.
Two sales supervisors from Yeo Hiap Seng Trading Sdn Berhad — Leery Pui Yung Yee and Wee Siew Beng — were also present.
“It is wonderful to win the competition and even more meaningful receiving it on Sarawak Day.
“I am proud to be a Sarawakian and thank you to the organisers and my photographer Teo. Winning the competition shows that Miri too has talents who could promote Miri and also Yeo’s products,” said Angel, a freelance dancer.
On the prize money, she hoped to use it for something beneficial and share some with Teo.
Meanwhile, Teo said he was happy that his photograph of Angel was able to win the second spot, adding that it was tough to project model on photograph especially when no make-up was required.
