This year's Miss Hong Kong 2012 "one vote per person" system turned into a laughing stock as it ended with a server crash. HK citizens were not only unable to vote for the winner in their heart, Tracy Chu, but even the 'voting prize' (Mini Cooper) disappeared and became a mystery. The entire city is angered! To expressed their dissatisfaction, yesterday there were 527 complaints, and today another 229 complaints were added to that number, yielding a total of 756 complaints within two days. This broke the previous record of 343 complaints set by Joyce Cheng kissing Ron Ng during their performance at the Children Song Awards back in 2005.

In addition to Netizens voicing out their dissatisfaction, there is also someone taking revenge on Miss HK winner Carat Cheung because they believed she doesn't deserve the title. The person did a major background check on Carat's personal life and defamed her as much as possible. Yesterday a reader exposed Carat is a "Stamp Collector Miss HK" and Netizens uploaded a photo they claimed to be Carat and her 'boyfriend'. They heavily bashed the 'boyfriend' that he looks like Mainland gossip king Zude Song. However, based on the research done by reporters, the 'stamp collecting evidence' given by the reader were just normal photos Carat took with other artists. In reality, Carat used to host a television show in Vancouver, and interviewed several artists such as Eason Chan and Steven Ma. So, it's normal she took photos with artists. As for the 'boyfriend', his real identity is Carat's younger male cousin. As for first runner-up, Jacqueline Wong, she also got miserably denounced by Netizens. Supporters of second runner-up, Tracy Chu shouted: "Give Us Back the Cooper!"

In regards to Netizens' defamation, Carat was not upset at all, but laughed: "This proves audience pays attention to Miss HK. Netizens does not represent all of HK. (Are you afraid there will be a HK wide poll and you may get less votes?) I was satisfied with my performance that night." As for Carat's great uncle, he said she's "not that pretty", Cara calmly said: "That proves that I'm not relying on relationships." As for Tracy Chu, she's just very grateful to have Netizens' support.
