Believe it or not, Singaporean women are the fourth most
beautiful women in the world.
Well, according to MSN Travel website at least.
The reason for the ranking, MSN Travel said in an article, is
because the ladies here can speak Singlish.
In a tongue-in-cheek style, the article said: “You can’t beat a
language that starts with sin”.
In the MSN Travel ranking, women from Melbourne, Australia, are
the hottest. This is followed by those from Rio de Janeiro in
Brazil and Amsterdam, Holland.
It lauded Singapore’s weather as “fantastic” and described the
women here as “sleek, sweet, sophisticated”, donning stylish summer
dresses” paired with “long cascading hair like waves on Siloso
Beach”.
Despite the gush of praises, some Singaporeans interviewed in a
street survey have a different opinion.
A 30-year-old manager known only as Mr Lin said that only
foreigners might find Singlish cute.
Twenty-year-old student Mr Bai also did not agree with the
ranking.
He felt that, in terms of looks, Singaporean women are not as
attractive compared to the Japanese or the Korean.
But at least one person agreed with the ranking, and it came
from – no surprise – a woman.
Ms Hong, a 24-year-old auditor, felt that Singapore women know
how to dress up and “there are beautiful ones everywhere”.
They never knew Temasek Holdings CEO.
Then again, we know the truth.
