TO MR. MIKE LIM: I’M JUST WONDERING HOW YOU AND THE JUDGES CAME UP WITH THE RESULTS A WHILE AGO IN THE MIP 2009. AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN, I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT THE CRITERIA THAT YOU HAVE USED FOR THE JUDGING. IT IS CLEAR THAT MR. FARZAM HAVE NEVER UTTERED A SINGLE WORD TO ANSWER THE QUESTION THROWN TO HIM, HOW COME HE WON IN THE CONTEST? AND HOW ABOUT MR MALKO WHO DON’T EVEN KNOW HIS GRADE SCHOOL GRAMMAR… WHO DID NOT KNOW SIMPLE PRESENT, PAST AND FUTURE TENSE? AND WORST HOW DID CONTESTANT NUMBER 15 BAG THE TITLE WHEN HIS ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, “WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?” IS SO RIDICULUOUS, NOT TO MENTION TOTALLY SENSELESS? IS THAT THE KIND OF MAN THAT YOU WOULD SEND TO TAIWAN AS THE PHILIPPINE DELEGATE?! IT’S A PITY.
