In a Facebook post, Miss Universe Malaysia Organisation national director, Datin Elaine Daly, and our very own Miss Universe Malaysia 2019 Shweta Sekhon announced that the show will be streamed via the organisation’s website.
Elaine said: “The public can watch the live-streamed competition by purchasing tickets on the Miss Universe website, and 20% of the proceeds will be given to charity”
She added that viewers will be able to influence the choice of winners as fans’ votes will also count to determine the next beauty queen, including the winners of the subsidiary titles - Miss Body Beautiful and Best in Evening Gown will also be determined by the same method.
