KOTA KINABALU: Career-driven Cassandra Yap from Johor has been crowned as Miss International Malaysia (MIM) 2023.
She walked away with RM10,000 cash, an education scholarship worth RM52,975 among other prizes and will be representing Malaysia in the international finale in Tokyo of Japan less than two weeks from now.
Yap, who is no stranger to the pageantry and modelling industry, is hopeful for her coming stint in Tokyo, as she believes as a Malaysian, the multi-cultural background is her advantage. “I am a freelancer, I do modelling, content creation and pageantry so it is a bit hard to schedule my time. But I am glad that all the efforts paid off,” she said."I am not thinking about that at this point because there are many goals that I want to achieve first,” she added.
“This year, Cassandra will only have 11 days to prepare for the finals in Tokyo but Ashlyn will have a whole year ahead. We want to work our way to the top and let Malaysia bring the international trophy home,” she said.
