Searching for Mr Nice Guy

PETALING JAYA: Contrary to popular belief, nice guys don’t always finish last – at least not at CloveTWO.  

The online arm of Clove, The Star’s monthly pullout for women, is launching the search for Mr Nice Guy today. 

Five decent blokes will contend for the title and you will be the ones determining who is the nicest.  

Fabulous five: (From left) Andrew, Gilbert, Sean, Nicholas Khoo and Zaha Izrin Zahari are the candidates.

To allow you to get to know the candidates better, they will be asked a “scenario-based” question every week and their answers will be published online, accompanied by a video clip. 

“I think this is a great project CloveTWO has undertaken. Hopefully, through some of our answers, other guys will learn how to be more of a gentleman towards women,” said candidate Andrew S. William, a public relations and marketing consultant. 

Another hopeful, Sean Pereira, said it was going to be pretty tough. 

“The other guys are very friendly and nice,” the 23-year-old said after sizing up his competitors at a recent photo shoot at Menara Star here. 

“It’s going to be a bit of a competition but I’m enjoying myself and hope to meet new friends.” 

Music and drama teacher Gilbert Wong agreed, adding that “all of us should be Mr Nice Guy!”  

During the six-week competition, CloveTWO readers can rank the guys from their favourite (#1) to least favourite (#5), and complete a simple slogan to be in the running to win cool prizes. 

CloveTWO’s search for Mr Nice Guy, in association with L’Oréal, runs from March 28 to May 8.
