Schweta Sekhon is Miss Malaysia.
Miss Universe Malaysia didn't win the Best National Costume but it's okay, you still won Malaysian hearts.
Hopefully the organization will take serious action regarding this matter, it's so unprofessional of them!#MissUniverse2019 #MissMalaysia #NationalCostume pic.twitter.com/N8R0wy1uFP
