Kota Kinabalu: Cassandra Yap (centre) from Johor was crowned Miss International Malaysia 2023 (MIM2023) at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), here, on Sunday.
The 24-year-old beat 16 other finalists to win the title and walked away with RM10,000 cash, an education scholarship worth RM52,975, among other prizes, and will be representing Malaysia in the international finale in Tokyo, Japan less than two weeks from now.The first runner-up is 28-year-old Kimberly Vung from Sabah, while Christina Lee, also 28, from Perak is second runner-up.
Also present were Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan, MIM2023 National Director cum President Jawed Khan, MIM2023 Chairperson Jenny Ngu, MIM2023 Chief Executive Officer Dr Aly Stephen and MIM2023 Project Manager Jason Jonathan Omar.Referring to her “failure” in the peninsula competition, Yap said her expectations were high and was disappointed when she secured second place.
She said flexibility, adaptability and acceptance of differences are part of every Malaysian life, and plans on using this to show the world what Malaysians are and hopefully outshine the other contestants. On her Miss Malaysia International 2024 preparations, she said she would continuously improve myself in ways such as regular participation with the Toastmasters Club to improve public speaking and interpersonal skills.
He said while many might reduce beauty pageants to mere displays of glamour, MIM serves a higher purpose as it allows them to project the nation’s values, ideals and aspirations onto the global stage.
