20-year-old soccer referee Dalreena Poonam Gill was crowned Miss World Singapore 2014 Saturday night at the One Farrer Hotel and Spa. Gill beat 19 other local contestants to clinch the coveted crown and the opportunity to represent Singapore at the Miss World 2014 pageant in London on 14 December.
She will also receive about $8,000 in cash and prizes. Gill, who stands at 1.71 m tall and boasts vital statistics of 32B-26-36, is the youngest of only three female football referees in Singapore and aspires to become a referee for world body FIFA in the next two years. 'The reason why I'm here today is to represent the minority (sic) in Singapore. Pageantry is a doorway for those who want to be on stage, give back and of course learn more about themselves,' said Gill in a personal bio-sheet explaining her decision to join Miss World Singapore 2014. The first runner-up was Nanyang Technological University communications undergraduate Kimberley Lam, 20, followed by second runner-up Louissa Lavnea Thomas, 25.Financial consultant Thomas was participating in the pageant for a second time after representing Singapore at Miss World 2012.
