PETALING JAYA: Malaysians on social media are seemingly outraged by a beauty pageant that referred to the country as the "Republic of Malaysia".

Miss Crystal Angel International 2019 pageant, which took place on Monday (Nov 4) in Yangon, Myanmar, apparently had two contestants from Malaysia – one dubbed Miss Malaysia, and the other as Miss Republic of Malaysia.
