Miss Malaysia World organiser and dropped finalists regret ban


PETALING JAYA: Miss Malaysia World official pageant organiser Datuk Anna Lim and the disqualified finalists are surprised and sad over the banning of Muslim girls participating in the 2013 beauty contest.

Four finalists for the Miss Malaysia World beauty pageant - Sara Amelia Bernard, Wafa Johanna De Korte, Miera Sheikh and Kathrina Ridzuan - were dropped from the competition after criticism from Federal Territory mufti Datuk Wan Zahidi Wan The that their participation was “sinful”.
