I guess it's never too late for me to congratulate our very own ATI College student who was crowned as the new Miss Malaysia Earth 2010 recently held at the Royal Golf Club, Ipoh, Perak last July 18. Appey had won the state Unduk Ngadau 2009 last year and receives scholarship to pursue her studies in Tourism field. She has fulfilled the ideas of the competition - that beauty queens can be strong and effective advocates for Mother Earth.
We hope that she will be committed to playing a part in preserving and protecting the environment for future generations. She will represent Malaysia at the Miss Earth 2010 , the 10th edition of Miss Earth beauty pageant, to take place in Vinpearl Land, Nha Trang, Vietnam on December 4, 2010.
More than 80 contestants from various countries and territories will compete for the title in December 2010, where Miss Earth 2009, Larissa Ramos of Brazil will crown her successor at the end of the event that will be broadcast by VTV, ABS CBN and The Filipino Channel. The Miss Earth winner serves as the spokesperson for the Miss Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other environmental organizations.
Best of luck Appey and make us proud one again!
