Team MUMO

This year, MUMO will be supporting the Malaysian AIDS Foundation (MAF). Through the partnership, MUMO aims to raise funds and more significantly, create awareness on the prevention of HIV/AIDS prevention amongst young women. A portion of the proceeds raised from the Miss Universe Malaysia events will be channelled to MAF’s Treatment, Care and Support Programme which seeks to improve access to HIV healthcare, support and welfare services for Malaysia’s underserved communities who are affected by HIV and AIDS, particularly women and children.

The National Director of MUMO, Ms Carey Ng said, “Every batch of girls brings a fresh take on beauty and this year I’m very happy to have found 14 beautiful girls that will be vying for the crown. The Miss Universe Malaysia Organization is excited to embark on this very special journey with them in the hopes of uncovering a worthy winner and competitor onto the international stage.”

“The finalists should strive to be the epitome of beauty and continue to redefine what beauty is. They will be equipped with tools from our supportive panel of experts, beauty, fashion and many more to help them take on the challenges set before them,” she elaborated.

The crowning of Miss Universe Malaysia 2016 will take place at the Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel at the end of January 2016. The crowned winner will have an opportunity of a lifetime to travel abroad representing Malaysia at the Miss Universe pageant to be held in the later part of 2016. Additionally, she will also receive a cash prize of RM50,000 and sponsored prizes worth over RM200,000.
