Every bit a Malaysian

Malaysian inside out: Reigning Miss Malaysia Universe beauty queen Leggett is very much a local girl.

PETALING JAYA: Kimberley Leggett speaks Malay as well as understands Hokkien and Cantonese. “I love durians I am exactly like everyone else in the country,” said the beauty queen who is currently studying at the Taylor's University here.

Being an all-Malaysian girl, the 19-year-old Penangite is upset that her national heritage was questioned in an article in the United States-based magazine International Business Times (IBTimes) about the country's Miss Universe contestant being “too white”.
