A hard-rockin’ Malaysian college student beat out eight competitors from Thailand, Indonesia and her home country to win the 2013 Ms. Hard Rock Southeast Asia pageant in Pattaya.
Laureen Quah, a 21-year-old part-time emcee, dancer and college student, was named the Hard Rock Hotel chain’s Southeast Asian ambassador at the Hard Rock Cafe Oct. 5. Glady Laksmi from the Hard Rock Hotel Bali took second and Tan Chin from the Hard Rock Hotel Penang took third. Thailand’s Pakatida Srongprapa won the “Facebook Favorite Vote” after securing the most “likes” on the Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya’s Facebook page.
Quah, who also won the Ms. Hard Rock Penang title in September, took home US$2,430. Laksmi won US$865 and Tan won US$665.
Different from most beauty pageants, the Hard Rock’s contest searches for women with not only looks, but a deep understanding of music history and style. Contestants competed in “Rock Style” and “Beach Style” judging before performing in a talent show and answering questions from judges.
Before taking the stage, however, the nine women handed out lunch boxes to children at Huay Yai School and participated in the hotel’s “Pinktober” breast cancer-awareness campaign.

As the contestants and crowd waited for the new rock princess to be announced, 2012 winner Cattaleeya Schulze graced the stage with dance moves in a pouring rain.

The contestants also took part in the Pinktober Parade, a campaign to raise breast cancer awareness and solicit funds to find the cure along the famous Beach Road, Pattaya.

Contestants participated in the ‘Take Time to Be Kind’ campaign with Hard Rock Pattaya staff, by taking part in the Lunchbox Project, providing meals for underprivileged kids at Huay Yai School.
