It was a memorable outing for this damsel from Penampang, Sabah, as she had also won two subsidiary titles: Best National Costume and Miss Body Beautiful.
On Saturday night, she not only scored points for her deportment and confidence, but her intelligence also showed during the question-and-answer session.
Asked about the biggest social problem faced by teenagers today, the Foundation in Business student answered that social media was a big distraction for the youths of today.
“Facebook, Instagram, blogs, and others are easily accessible via smart phones. Unfortunately, exposure to social media is slowly turning teenagers to be anti social, and this can snowball into a serious problem in future,” she opined.
