This year, the Miss Universe Malaysia Organisation (Mumo) is supporting the Malaysian AIDS Foundation (MAF). Mumo aims to raise funds and more significantly, create awareness of HIV/AIDS prevention among young women. A portion of the proceeds raised from Miss Universe Malaysia events will go to MAF’s treatment, care and support programme, which seeks to improve access to healthcare, support and welfare services for Malaysia’s underserved communities affected by HIV and AIDS, particularly women and children.
Mumo national director Carey Ng said: “The finalists should strive to be the epitome of beauty while redefining it. They will be equipped with tools from our panel of experts in beauty, fashion and many more to take on the challenges before them.”
Miss Universe Malaysia 2016 will be crowned in January at the Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel. The winner will represent Malaysia at the Miss Universe pageant to be held in the later part of next year. She will also receive RM 50,000 and sponsored prizes worth over RM200,000.
