Burma's first international beauty queen has absconded with her $100,000 crown after being stripped of her title for being rude and dishonest, organisers said on Friday.
May Myat Noe's photograph was blacked out on the Miss Asia Pacific World website, the word "dethroned" stamped alongside her name.
"She thinks as long as she keeps this crown she's the winner," said David Kim, director of media for the South Korea-based pageant. "She's not."
Organisers said Ms Noe had "lied" and proved to be untrustworthy, but provided few details.
Ms Noe was not immediately available for comment. She planned to hold a news conference at a later time, according to Eleven Media, a Myanmar newspaper.

Hla Nu Tun, who initially acted as her unofficial manager, said Ms Noe and the organisers had disagreed over who should oversee her career. Ms Noe's mother wanted control but so did the organisers, she said.
A half-century of military rule and self-imposed isolation kept Burma contestants off the stage of international beauty contests until 2012. When Ms Noe was crowned in May, it was seen as a new beginning for young, talented beauties.
Following her victory, the organisers said they would arrange singing and video deals for her. But they also wanted to change the 172-centimetre (5 foot 7 inch) teen's looks, Mr Kim said.
One of the pageant's primary goals, he said, is to turn winners into regional superstars: actresses, pop icons, and world-class models.
It was decided Ms Noe's breasts were too small and could hold her back, and she accepted an offer of enhancements, he said.
"We thought she should be more beautiful ... so we sent her to the hospital to operate on her breasts," Mr Kim said, adding that sponsors picked up the $10,000 tab, as they had for previous winners.
"It's our responsibility," he said. "If she has no good nose, then maybe, if she likes, we can operate on her nose. If it's breasts, then breasts."
Kim said troubles started from there, with the beauty queen bringing her mother to Seoul for what was supposed to be a 10-day visit but stretched into three months.
Well said. I have added to your points.
Burmese are the best!
I must say my transformation from Middle Eastern to Burmese has been relatively hassle free.

Controversies
At the 2011 pageant Amy Willerton, a contestant representing Wales, along with a number of other contestants, claimed the pageant had been fixed after the girl representing
Venezuela was apparently placed runner-up of the talent round before she had competed. Led by Willerton, the contestants demanded answers from organisers and later made claims that some contestants had been offered automatic top-ranking placements in exchange for sex.[SUP]
[12][/SUP] The events were filmed by Willerton and other contestants, which were later uploaded to YouTube under the title "
Confessions of a Beauty Queen".[SUP]
[13][/SUP] Subsequently, she and the representatives from Aletha Shepherd of
Guyana, Costa Rica and Pamela Peralta fled their hotel to the airport, claiming the pageant organisers had tried to keep them there against their will and had followed them to the airport to stop them escaping. The Korean National Police Agency and organisers denied all accusations.[SUP]
[14][/SUP][SUP]
[15][/SUP] Willerton claimed that the organisers bribed the police officers, "When the police arrived they called in one of the chairmen of the pageant who actually got his wallet out straight away and we were all pushed back by the organisers so we couldn't speak...Our translator would not translate for us, so we were completely helpless."

As you can see winning such a pagent is as good as not even winning at all. Better to have gotten into miss world and miss universe as just a contestant more credibility.
