Thai Miss Universe contestant Paweensuda “Fahsai” Drouin, who finished in the top five, got the sympathy of netizens after being asked what they thought was a tough question by a pageant judge. 

 

Miss South Africa, Zozibini Tunzi, was crowned Miss Universe.

 

In the question and answer round, a judge asked Paweensuda: "Government surveillance is used to keep many nations and their people safe. But some believe this invades our right to privacy. What is more important to you, privacy or security?"

 

The Thai beauty queen answered: “I believe that every country has their own government policy to keep us safe, and I believe that it shouldn't cross a line of going into our privacy because we have a right to privacy. But security is also very important, so I believe that in order to live in a better society, we should also have the government look into a line – a middle ground as to where they can come and live together with society.”

Many netizens shared the opinion that the question was quite hard because of the current government and political situation in Thailand. They posted comments offering her moral support and thanking her for her efforts. 

 

“I cried. I feel sorry for Fahsai since she has been in pageant stages for seven years preparing for Miss Universe. However, we have to move on. She is a fighter. Never seen an ambitious woman like this before,” one of her fans posted on social media.

In this particular case however it's really in the eye of the beholder, or whoever decided 'let's have that trending diversity thing'. SA was far too butch for my taste. Grace Jones fans should be pleased though.

True. 

 

Btw, I'm sure most Thais would have been further confused to see Miss Ireland ???????? 

Must have been alot of head-scratching!

Other questions to ask Thai contestants; Why are you so tall?  Have you had any recent operations?  Do you think the General Erection was rigged?

The answer shouldn't  be important  shod come  down to how fit she is

 

What kind of clothes she wears in the bedroom extra

 

After  all it is a beauty  compition not a job interview

 

The one who won i wouldnt  even want tk sit next  to it let alone. You know what with it

 

Miss Thailand  was much  better looking and i don't  really care what the question  or answer was

 

She needs to come see me for a beer and a hug and a kiss

Why is anyone surprised that a beauty contest owned by Trump (until very recently) would be unfair? Stupid question, great answer, IMHO. Calling it a 'beauty' contest is absurd. 'Beauty' seems to just an incidental aspect of it anymore, one reason I stopped watching any of them years ago.

I disagree, totally. Any invasion of privacy in criminal. Eavesdropping can only be legal with a court warrant.

Try answering yourself out loud. It's a question you could argue either way...and be valid.

She argued it from both sides so was a fail. A product of living under junta rule I suppose.

Good answer, to a challenging question. Especially in a nation where the administration is famously thin skinned, and power hungry. 

 

She is stunning. Thrilled to see a Thai woman with darker skin get this kind of attention. Hopefully it will break down some of the inane attitudes so many have hear about milky white skin. Kids at the school level should be taught to repeat, "black is beautiful, white skin is no big deal at all". Or "TV shows are full of nonsense, and not all rich people are white".

she could have said: I cannot answer honestly as in my country, people get thrown in jail or the law about defamation is so much abused you better shut up than to pay the consequences of telling the truth

He asked for her opinion.... so the answer should have been her honest feeling.
Not difficult.

That would have been a stiff question surely ????

It was a difficult question, compared to some of the other questions. The contest is

made so the winner of choice gets a bit of a break. I congratulate Miss Thailand to 

get to the top 5, I had hoped that she would have made the top 3.

 Maybe Tom B, will host the next contest, and not the bumbling Steve Harvey.

Just my opinion of course.

Geezer

A perfectly normal question that any contestant with half a brain should have anticipated and practiced for. 

 

However, it does require taking a stance and the Thai/Lao way is to simply say, "Up to you." Because, as we all know, making a decision is hard!

To be fair? only to the truly witless

simple question - how many people die each day due to the government not knowing about the contents of their emails and communications/conversations?

compare with the number of people who die from heart disease or strokes?

difficult to answer

people such as you dlock have actually brought into the government line that keeps the masses under control

we need thinking people in this world. let us hope the rest are wiped out

 

Really! I could understand if you actually understood the power the Thai government and elephants have over the general population,

but to believe there is no correct answer? It was a difficult question because the honest answer puts her life in mortal danger, how old are you?

 

it reminds me of my my Yemeni friend who told me the real problem with the Middle East and Arabs is they want someone to rule them, someone to give them orders and direction

Full marks to Miss South Africa for deftly handling a daft question. Pity her inquisitor didn't ask what she thought of his jacket. There can't be a politically-correct answer to that.
