Johor-born entrepreneur Eunice Wong, 37, has been crowned Miss Universe Malaysia (MUM) 2026, emerging victorious over 12 other finalists at the pageant’s grand finale in Kuala Lumpur.
Wong received the newly designed “Star of the East” crown and will now carry Malaysia’s hopes onto the international stage. She is set to represent the country at Miss Universe in Puerto Rico next month.
Sapphire Wong, a mother of three representing Sarawak, finished as first runner-up, while Amreet Kaur of Perak secured third place and Emanuelle Mah of Bukit Jalil finished fourth.
Speaking after her victory, Eunice expressed gratitude and said the result made the hard work and sacrifices throughout her journey worthwhile. She also encouraged young people to continue pursuing their dreams regardless of their background or where they come from.
Looking ahead to the international competition, Wong said she intends to carry the “Malaysia Boleh” spirit to Puerto Rico and give her best performance in hopes of making the country proud.
