Francisca Luhong has been crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2020 just few minutes ago and will be representing the country at Miss Universe 2020 stage. Miss Universe Malaysia 2019 Shweta Sekhon crowned her successor at the end of the event finale where eighteen finalists competed for the national title. She is very excited to represent the country at Miss Universe 2020 stage.

She advocates for women empowerment and is also active in doing charity works especially in rural areas of Sarawak.

Miss Universe Malaysia 2020 Francisca Luhong’s court includes:
First Runner-up- Charissa Chong
Second Runner-up – Serene Chai Yong Bin
Third Runner-up – Neha Verma
Franscisa is not new to the pageantry as she was a part of Miss World Malaysia 2016 and was adjudged as the third runner-up at the end of the event finale. She was also a part of Miss World Malaysia 2018 and was placed at the top five at the end of the event finale. She is a fitness freak and maintains a healthy regimen to keep herself fit. The diva is very close to her culture and tradition and would love to showcase it on an international stage. Francisca had explained that the beauty pageant gives greater empowerment to women while celebrating their diverse beauty regardless of their race, size, or skin colour.
“I am much more ready now mentally and physically compared to when I joined before. Miss Universe Malaysia has always been my dream, but I understand how huge the responsibility is and what an honour it is to carry the title as they are known to be the spokesperson and ambassador for the country they represent, and they need to work really hard to help the community.”
She had also explained that before the finale night “The next person who carries the duty of Miss Universe Malaysia needs to know how to use her voice to make a change for her community, to voice out the issues that the country faces and relate to other relevant countries, and be the spokesperson for the people.” She is very excited and would perform her best at the Miss Universe 2020 stage.
The diva explains that she is very independent and loves to get things done her own way. She believes that when you set goals for yourself and if you really want to achieve it, you need to see the bigger picture. It’s not just being beautiful and having a crown but it is about carrying the name of your country proudly and helping your community with the platform that you have. To share the issues that your country faces with the world and make a change, create a positive impact for the people and influence them to do great things as well.
Congratulations!
