Mandy Chen & Edison Chen scandal
Main article: Edison Chen photo scandal

The delegate representing Brisbane, Australia, (20) Mandy Chen 陳育嬬, became entangled in a photo scandal with one of the pageant's performers Edison Chen, when suspected nude pictures of Mandy Chen engaging in sexual acts, along with pictures of other Hong Kong female celebrities surfaced in early 2008.[1] During the pageant, Edison Chen has stated that Mandy Chen is his favourite delegate.[2] Mandy Chen has yet to comment on the incident.

gollark: Or change them.
gollark: I'm not saying "definitely allow all weapons" (recreational nukes may be a problem), but that it would be nice to at least actually follow their own laws.
gollark: Do you think they would give you bear arms if you asked nicely?
gollark: I would... kind of agree with that, actually, since it just says "right to bear arms".
gollark: Oh right, constitutions of some sort, makes sense.
