A local newspaper and the organizers of Miss Vietnam 2008 are to be rebuked for breaking the contest guidelines, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) said on Monday.

Spokeman To Van Dong said the ministry agreed with its inspectors that Tien Phong Newspaper and the contest organizers had deliberately altered the education requirements contestants without submitting the necessary documents to the MCST Department of Performing Arts.

The secretariat of Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Central Committee will set the level of censure.

Miss Vietnam 2008 Tran Thi Thuy Dung had been barred from competing in the Miss World 2008 contest, the ministry said. After taking the

Miss Vietnam crown in August, it was discovered that Dung had not graduated from high school, one of the pageant’s entry requirements.

It was up to the contest organizers to decide if Dung would be stripped of her title but the ministry would supervise the process, the ministry spokesman said.
