Beauty pageants might not be as widely broadcast as it once was, but they are still going strong.

One of the upcoming pageants is Miss International 2019.

The 59th Miss International pageant is a Japanese-based international beauty pageant organised by The International Culture Association and will be held on Nov. 15.

In the run-up to the event, Malaysian media has been hyping up their contestant, Charmaine Chew, quite a bit.

Here is a collated post featuring most of the contestants from Southeast Asia.

The comments featured quite a bit of Malaysians understandably hyping Chia up.

But there were a number taking aim at Singapore's representative, Charlotte Lucille Chia.

"Did Singapore send a canteen makcik? just asking"

"Did Singapore send the wrong picture or something?"

"Did the singapore girl have too much surgery, or did the surgery fail?"

There were, however, many who defended Chia by rightfully pointing out they were basing the rather unkind backlash on just one badly cropped picture.

"The Singapore girl is actually pretty"

"The Singapore girl is pretty... it's not nice to insult others"

Miss Singapore International

Chia was crowned Miss Singapore International on July 13.

According to her Instagram, Chia is 21, and a model.

And it looks like she's just about ready for the big day as well.

All the best.
