Paula Malai Ali?You Gotta Be Kidding!
Apparently, Paula Malai Ali is gonna represent Malaysian women in Oprah.
Of all people.Sure, she's beautiful and all that but is she really an average Malaysian woman? Don't know much on the details of the interview, but to quote The Star, Paula is supposed to 'touch on how much an average Malaysian woman earns and her BEAUTY REGIME!'
Her answer?"I only know how much I earn,my sister and my friends earn".
Being married into a royal family, her social circles obviously revolves around the elites. And the income of this hoity-toity people?Doesn't take a genious to know that that's NOT what an average Malaysian woman earns...Hhmmpphh...
So,how much can she actually speak for us? How many of us are as lucky as her to be endowed with physical beauty and stacks modelling offers?
Heck, she isn't even a Malaysian! I guess it wouldn't be as bad if she lived here most of her life, but she didn't!
I don't know who's responsible of picking this so-called reps but, come on!
I'll give you a Malaysian woman with character, charisma and substance(a good looking one at that)..Asha Gill.
A woman of grit. A woman of class. And yet, an apt representative of the average Malaysian woman.Someone who's not embarassed to clothe-shop at the pasar malam, get into dirt and muck, witty and without an ounce of pretence, besides being very much opinionated.
What better choice?
It irks me to think of snotty Paula talking about being the average Malaysian...what does she know,anyway?
She damned well did show her 'shallow-ness' in yesterday's paper...

hey... don't ask me how, but i've got her mobile num and her email add! why dont u give her a piece of your mind! :P
lol hey, we OFFICIALLY have a real malaysian woman to represent us internationally.
Out of 10000 'average malaysians', she proved to be the best by becoming Malaysia's FIRST Malaysian IDOL! WHOOHOo!!
Hope Jac gains recognition fast!!
hey man u got the point. she not even a malaysian. she is a bruneian. how can this possible happen?
Well that was a bit harsh on her ;) Although yes, why would she be representing Malaysians when she isn't one? And I must say Asha Gill is a much better choice, what with writing, acting, producing, amnesty international (though I doubt she earns the average wage) actually being Malaysian and she strikes me as more genuine than Paula...maybe asha was busy :P
Ben's Bitches did a song about stalking Paula Malai Ali though :P

Hm....i agree, asha gill would make for a better candidate to represent Malaysia. Paula does strike me as someone that is rather shallow, and bimboish. Asha gill, she's definitely a lot more down-to-earth, and makes a great radio DJ.
"I only know how much I earn,my sister and my friends earn".
Did she really say this? OMG, that is really bad. Which section of yesterday's Star? I'll go look for it now!

Got this from the oprah website:
As a 30-year-old woman in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Paula pays about $250 U.S. dollars to rent her three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. "I've also got a beautiful swimming pool. We've got tennis courts here. An average 30-year-old woman in Malaysia will earn something like $1,500–2,000 U.S. dollars a month. So, as you can see, every month we have plenty of change left over to buy that pair of must-have Jimmy Choos…did you know that Jimmy Choo is actually from Malaysia?"
Bi-weekly massages are a way of life for Paula. A one-hour massage here will cost her between $7–10 U.S. dollars. And Paula says many Malaysian women don't pluck or wax to remove hair—they use a procedure known as threading. "I don't know how [the threaders] do it. They get really precise. It's painless and it only costs five ringgit. That would be about $1.15 in America."
Jimmy Choos? I'm a 30 year old Malaysian woman and I don't even own a single pair of Jimmy Choo. C'mon, Paula. Average M'sian women shops at Vincci, Metrojaya, Jusco and count MNG, Zara, TopShop as luxury buys. Get real, puhlease....
Ananda: I've seen the Oprah show featuring Paula Malai Ali last night on cable (Star World). I'm not from Malaysia & I was surprised that Paula was featured and I know she's really from Brunei. I thought Asha Gill should have been chosen too. Here's something that I discovered: [http://www.directhere.com/Display_Content2.cfm?mode=d&id=5629]
