More to beauty than meets the eye


Hopeful contestant: Hejnowska is among those vying for the state-level Unduk Ngadau title this year.

KOTA KINABALU: She has hazel-coloured eyes, light brown hair and a relatively fair complexion but Maya Hejnowska is able to speak fluent Kadazan, one of Sabah’s native languages.

The 21-year-old continues to take natives by surprise and heads turn whenever she starts speaking.
