1 | Singapore: Beauty Queen's qualifications questioned | Singapaoro: Mampiady hevitra ny faripahaizan'ilay Oliravina |
2 | Ris Low, a 19 year old student, was crowned Miss Singapore World 2009 on Friday 31 July 2009. | Voahosotra ho Oliravina manerantany Singapaoro 2009 ao Singapaoro ny mpianatra 19 taona Ris Low, mpianatra, 19 taona tamin'ny zoma 31 jolay 2009. |
3 | Not too long after, she was interviewed and when a recording of her interview surfaced on the internet, a large number of responses arose about her sub par command of English. | Fotoana fohy tato aoriana, nalaina sary sy feo izy ary rehefa nivoaka tamin'ny aterineto izany rakitsary sy feo izany dia azo nitarafana ny fifehezany teny anglisy. |
4 | There were mixed reactions from many various sources, be it from video portals, blogs, mass media and even the man on the street. | Niteraka adihevitra, na tany amin'ny vavahadin- tsarimihetsika, na tany amin'ny bilaogy, na tamin'ny fampahalalam-baovao, eny fa na dia teny an-dalam-be rehetra teny aza ny valinteniny. |
5 | There were some which were negative : | Misy amin'izy ireny no manakiana : |
6 | Sometimesjean thinks that as an ambassador, she should be more than just beautiful : | Mihevitra i Sometimesjean fa tokony hahatafavoaka zavatra tsaratsara kokoa ankoatra ny hatsaran-tarehiny izy: |
7 | Since Miss Singapore World is a title representing Singapore, i would have thought that besides looking good, the title holder should be someone who speaks confidently, intelligently and has a certain level of class, in fact, we would expect at least an above average if not high level of class. | Satria fisoloan-tena an'i Singapaoro ny Oliravina Manerantany Singapaoro dia heveriko fa ankoatra ny hatsaran-tarehy dia tokony homena izay olona mahay miteny tsara sady manam-pahaizana ny voninahitra, izany hoe tokony mba farafaharatsiny manana fahaizana antonony raha tsy efa hoe mpianatra amin'ny ambaratonga ambony mihitsy aza. |
8 | After all, this concerns our nation honor and we should be more critical. | Voninahi-pirenena no arovana ka tokony ho mailo tsara. |
9 | Tanat disagrees with the choice of winner : | Tanat kosa mitsipaka ny fifidianana izay ho mpandresy: |
10 | I personally feel that Ris Low should not have won Miss Singapore World 2009 title. | Raha araka ny hevitro manokana dia tsy tokony ho Ris Low no voafidy ho Miss Singapore World 2009 (Oliravina Manerantany Singapaoro 2009). |
11 | So what if she had recovered from a high fever days before! | Inona moa no miova raha hoe vao sitrana tamin'ny tazo izy andro vitsivitsy nialoha ny fifidianana! |
12 | I felt she won it mostly due to the sheer manipulation of the judges who thought that her question on “money can buy power” was a sensible one. | Heveriko fa noho ny fahaizany namitaka ny mpitsara nihevitra fa mety ny namaliany ny fanontaniana hoe “Mahavidy fahefana ny vola” no antom-pandreseny. |
13 | However, there are a significant number of netizens who applaud Miss Low for having the courage to enter the competition. | Na izany aza dia misy ireo midera an'i Miss Low noho ny nanànany herin-tsaina hiditra ao amin'ny fifaninanana. |
14 | Singkengloon believes that no one is perfect : | Singkengloon dia mihevitra fa tsy misy ny lavorary: |
15 | The truth is most of us are culpable of such slips in our speech. | Ny marina dia iharan'ny fitenenana hoe ny teny maro tsy ilaozan'ota maro amintsika. |
16 | None of us can admit that our English is perfect. | Tsy misy afaka milaza isika na dia iray aza fa tonga lafatra ny fahaizantsika teny anglisy. |
17 | And I got to agree with a former Miss Singapore contestant that Ris Low is still young, with a lot of room to improve. | Ary mitovy hevitra amin'ny mpifaninana taminy aho fa mbola tanora izy ary mbola afaka manatsara zavatra betsaka. |
18 | Indeed, when our beauty queens need our support the most, all we have got to offer is mere mockery. | Raha mila ny fanohanantsika ny Oliravintsika dia eso no avalintsika azy. |
19 | How are our girls going to find the morale to shine for Singapore? | Dia ahoana àry no hananan'ny tovovavintsika herin-tsaina hampamirapiratra an'i Singapaoro? |
20 | Sam thinks that the barrage of criticism is a reflection of insecurity : | Mihevitra i Sam fa mariky ny tsy fahatokisan-tena mihevitra ny fanakianana be loatra: |
21 | We are apparently ashamed of other breeds of Singaporeans. | Ohatry ny menatra amina Singapaoriana karazany hafa isika. |
22 | We want to dust the broken English-speaking folks under the carpet. | Te hanadio ny tsy fahaizantsika miteny anglisy any ambany karipetra isika. |
23 | We want a quarter Chinese, quarter Malay, quarter Indian, quarter Eurasian girl to represent us, not some alleged “Ah Lian”. | Tiantsika ho tovovavy metisy sinoa, na metisy maley, na metisy karana, na metisy vazaha no hisolo tena antsika, fa tsy ny milaza azy ho “Ah Lian”. |
24 | Why? | Nahoana? |
25 | Because we are uncomfortable with what we see are the “imperfections” of our society - apparent “Ah Lian” subculture/aesthetics, poor English and all that. | Satria tsy mahazo aina isika amin'ny fahitantsika ny “tsy fetezana” eo amin'ny fiaraha-monina misy antsika - “Ah Lian” hita be eo amin'ny lafiny kolontsaina sy fahatsarana, ny tsy fahaizana miteny anglisy sy ny hafa koa. |
26 | Regardless, whether it is to applaud or to berate, the latest winner of Miss Singapore World has certainly been the talk of the town, incidentally giving the event more awareness and coverage compared to the previous contestants from years before. | Na izany na tsy izany dia niteraka adihevitra indrindra noho ny tamin'ny fifaninanana taloha ity fifaninanana Oliravina Manerantany Singapaoro ity avy amin'ny fankasitrahana na ny fitsikerana azy ka nanjary nahabe mpanaraka ny fandaharana. |
