Miss Segi - When beauty meets intelligence

By: Bella

The spectacular award winning event at Segi University is back. The crowning of the Segi beauty is finally here. 10 girls are to take part in the competition that is set to capture the eye of most Segi students and people from around the college in which the participants display their traditional attire, talents, their beautiful evening gowns as well as perform a unity dance, where by the winner is bound to go home with the sparkling crown and RM 2000.

With each year, the crowned winner participates in charity events like donations to orphans; events organised by the student’s society like trips and most importantly be an open door for students facing challenges in the University.

The President of the Segi International Student Society Paramartha said, "This year, the event will be mind blowing with numerous performances from students within and out of the college, the winner of Segi Idol 2014, local artists like Jay one a prominent artist and producer in Malaysia among others, a variety of delicious western meals to be served, a conducive environment as well as gift hampers from Sun silk company and other beauty stores. In addition the event will be graced with the presence of VIP's like the Dato' Prof. Jamaludin Mohaiadin, Major Dolly Kwa among others. Unfortunately this year, all contestants are from Segi main campus unlike last year’s Miss Segi with participants from Segi Subang Jaya and Segi Kuala Lumpur."

Going back on last year's Miss Segi, the event was breath taking with a number of surprise performances from students, group performance from the winners of the Segi Exhibit, Khalid a Segi student that took over Segi comedy by storm with his rib cracking jokes and mind blowing belly dancers from the Middle East belly dance academy (the very first belly dance school in Malaysia). At the end of the evening Miss Victoria Imanova, a beauty from Kazakhstan was crowned Miss Segi 2013.

Flyers about the event are already being posted around the college which is creating excitement among the students on campus about who to go with, what to wear and others, if they should go at all.

Farah, 23 said "Am looking forward to Miss Segi. Am super excited because my sister is in the competition and I really hope she wins. My family and I are attending the event to show our support."

Ken, 24 a third year student said, "Am not intrigued but it does not hurt to say am looking forward to the night of the event as it's one of the few interesting activities that take place at the university once in a while so why miss it."

Shamal, 23 a final year student however seems to disagree about the fairness of the results where he thinks that it's more to nepotism where by the winner is chosen before the actual event. It's frustrating and I don't think am going to attend this year as it is a waste of time. Some more the ticket pricing is so unfair to the students as it's high and unaffordable."

This year's ticket pricing is Gold at Rm15 for free sitting and Platinum at RM 50 per seat which comes with a private table, western dinner and sparkling fruit drink.
