She also snapped up the Miss Beautiful Smile subsidiary title. For her efforts, Frances won over RM100,000 in prizes, including a cash sum of RM30,000. Aspiring model 25 year old Eugenee Ooi from Malaysia, took the runner's up spot, while 24 year old marketer Irma Janita from Indonesia came in third. Eugenee was also awarded the Miss Charming and Miss Perfect Wellness subsidiary titles while Irma managed to add the Miss Talent subsidiary title to the Miss Glamorous title she won last week. The glitzy and classy regional beauty pageant which was held in front of a capacity audience at the Royal Ballroom in the Palace of the Golden Horses, last night, was organised by White Fairy Sdn Bhd, the official franchise owner in Malaysia.
