Miss Vietnam crisis after UK school row ( 2003-08-13 16:04) (Agencies)
Miss Vietnam 2002, who had sparked a national crisis after she was reported missing, has emerged from hiding to let everybody know she's well and is just running away from home, say police in the northern Vietnamese port city of Haiphong.
Police said the teenager had run away to another town with her girlfriends after a dispute with her parents over their decision to send her to England for school.
"She showed up yesterday unscathed," before running away again with friends, said a policewoman in Ngo Quyen District in Haiphong city. "She said her parents pressured her to go but she prefers staying in Vietnam," the policewoman said.
Phuong had recently been awarded a scholarship to study business management at Luton University in England.
The high school senior was catapulted to fame when she won the reinstated national beauty contest last year. She represented Vietnam at the Miss World contest that was originally held in Nigeria but was moved to London due to protests.
Phuong's family could not be reached for comment.
