Singapore, October 9, 2009 - This evening, during one of the year's most exciting annual events, a star-studded panel of judges chose Mister Bishan Nelson Lee as MISTER SINGAPORE 2009 at the 10th Annual MISTER SINGAPORE pageant from Zirca.

22-year-old Nelson was born in Singapore but migrated to Melbourne, Australia when he was 10. He was also a national swimmer and tennis player with the Victoria All Boys team. Due to national service, he returned to his birth place to serve his duties. After completing his degree in Biomedical Science from Bradford University, Nelson worked as a scientist and hopes to advance in the field of Biomedical Research and Development. He was also voted one of 50 most gorgeous men in Singapore last year.

The judging panel for the MISTER SINGAPORE 2009 pageant included: Shenzi Chua, Founder and Director of NewUrbanMale.com; George Leong, renown music composer, producer and arranger; Chris Chew, Owner of fitness portal SgFitness.com; Ken Hong, award winning hairstylist and Creative Director of Anthony Hair Boutique; Lim Yi Fang, Senior Marketing Executive of Cannery Leisure; Longcheng Low; Chairman for Love, a fundraising gala organized by Action for AIDS; and Clarissa Ellice Rae Lim, Miss Singapore Global City 2007.

Throughout the two-hour event, the contestants competed in three categories: swimwear, evening wear and interview. During these competitions, the “Top Five” were selected before the crowning.
