• TAHITI'S CHINESE COMMUNITY CROWNS A NEW MISS DRAGON *Courtesy of Tahiti Presse
  Twenty-three-year-old Karen Gnetha Chong Fat was crowned Miss Dragon 2007 Saturday night, qualifying her for the Miss Chinese International contest later in the year.
  
  The Chinese community's Miss Dragon contest is Tahiti's second most prestigious beauty competition after the yearly Miss Tahiti contest, which was recently held.

  More than 1,200 people, including several Tong Sang government ministers as well as China's consul in Tahiti, attended the Miss Dragon contest held in the gardens of the Papeete City Hall.

  Ms. Chong Fat, a flight crewmember for a local airline, was one of eight contestants for this year's Miss Dragon title. "I will do my best to represent Tahiti's Chinese community, particularly during the Miss Chinese International contest," she said after her victory.

  Prisco Lau Gnou Danh, 21, and Siao Feng Hiu, 23, were first and second runners-up respectively in the Miss Dragon contest.
