PETALING JAYA: Shoppers at the Kuala Lumpur Sogo Department Store were recently greeted with a rare but unforgettable sight of a bevy of beauties making a special appearance there.

"The winner (of the Sogo trendsetter title) will walk away with a cash prize of RM1,000, a sash and a trophy," the company said in a statement on Friday.
The contestants are set to battle it out for the elusive Miss Tourism International 2016 crown at the world final at Putrajaya Marriot Hotel on new year's eve.
