SHAH ALAM: Christmas came early for the silver state as Perak-born Sabrina Beneett was crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2014 by reigning Miss Universe Malaysia 2013 Carey Ng at Setia City Convention Centre last Thursday.
Hosted by Miss Universe Malaysia Organisation, the 23-year-old psychology and communications student proved to be the top choice among 16 finalists who were then narrowed down to the top four.
“I’m on top of the world. Winning this means a lot to me and I am proud to be given the chance to represent Malaysia,” said Beneett. “I’ll make sure that I’ll shine even brighter.
“I believe beauty is something people are inclined towards and in a way receptive to. It can make a difference in the right way.”
Beneett clinched the title with her heart-warming smile and candid answers.
The first runner-up was Lalitha Monisha while the second runner-up was Kausalya Ida. Lyn Lim emerged as the third runner-up.
Beneett will represent Malaysia in the 63rd annual Miss Universe International Pageant in Fortaleza, Brazil, in October next year.
