World Class Beauty Queens: What does women Empowerment means to you?
Women Empowerment is about educating women and teaching them to believe that they are
beautiful and that they deserve to be honoured regardless of their shape, size and colour or where to come
from. Encouraging women to be self-reliant, economically independent, have positive self esteem and generate confidence in themselves. It also refers to increasing and improving social, economic, political and legal strength of the women, to ensure she has equal-rights. Women Empowerment happens when women come together, when we support each other, when we work to make women stronger and when we break trough taboos to Speak Up. I love Michele Obama's quote on this - No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens.
World Class Beauty Queens: Tell us about your pageant history.
Before I got married, I joined the Ms Malaysia World pageant and succeeded as one of the finalist. It was a good experience for me and when I found out that Mrs Malaysia International Global (MMIG) also held a pageant for married women, I was very excited to join the pageant. It was a journey of 6 months and a huge perk was the opportunity to make friends, and my immediate access to a large network of “pageant sisters.” They are friendly, outstanding and accomplished women. The pageant journey consists of grooming and catwalk classes that was held by one of the most experience choreographer - Mr Rickyy Wong. He taught us how to walk, dance, talk and answer questions.
We also had a chance for a charity outreach - contributing gifts, school uniforms and other items to the children who lived at Lembah Subang (Subang Jaya, Malaysia) to prepare them for school the following year.
The organisers Datin Sharon Too and Melissa Seow also contributed to our growth by challenging us to be confident in ourselves as married women and work hard to achieve our goals. A lot of positive life choices were sparked from this pageant. I now live a much healthier and active lifestyle. I’ve devoted more time to volunteering and community service and bettering myself. My personal development and confidence have grown immensely through this journey. This pageant have done more than just empower me, they’ve given me lifelong friendships, another family. So happy and glad to have made it this far as a married women - to be a Champion of the Classic Malaysia International World 2019, Champion of the Mrs Malaysia Advocacy Queen and Mrs Supermodel.
World Class Beauty Queens: What inspired you to do your first pageant?
I was inspired to join my first pageant - Ms Malaysia World as I was currently doing modelling at that time and knew that this was a door way for many more opportunities for my modelling career in future. Now as a married women and a mom of two girls, I am inspired by what I did before and knew that I wanted to take up the challenge again, to increase my confidence level and self esteem especially now when i have grown older.
Pageantry is a doorway for those who want to be on stage, give back, and of course learn more about themselves. I never saw pageantry as a competition, I always looked at it as a learning experience.
Pageantry teaches that you can still gain something just from competing even if you don’t win the crown. These are important life lessons that women learn as pageant contestants and this really helps to increase overall self-esteem.
