Questions have been raised on what is the significance of an owl to Fiji and why Miss Fiji Koini Vakaloloma wore an owl suit as her main entry in the 2012 Miss World finals in Mongolia.

Vakaloloma led the group of girls out and performed a meke in the owl suit as part of her performance in the world pageant.

It was earlier announced that Vakaloloma’s national costume and dance were selected to open the dance of the world segment of the pageant finale.

According to an earlier statement, the national costume symbolizing the owl and the special choreographed meke was overseen by Miss World Fiji national director Andhy Blake with the help of Pasifika Voices performers.

We are trying to speak to Blake.
