She also recently mentioned why she wants to be Miss International Malaysia as she shared, “Being a pageant fan, I believe many pageant lovers in Malaysia will agree with me that we have been through so many ups and downs. Every time we have been hoping so much for our beauty queens because they are so beautiful and have a full package, and every time we are very disappointed because our queens are unplaced for many years. But we Malaysians have a spirit of not giving up and keep sending our best delegates to international platforms.”
