Petaling Jaya - In an unprecedented move, Miss Malaysia World has revoked the title of the current holder.
Tatiana
Kumar Nandha has been stripped of her crown for what the organisation
calls “offensive” comments online. The announcement was made via the
organisation’s Instagram account (@miss_world_malaysia) on Monday.
.
The
post, signed in the name of former national director Datuk Anna Lin,
stated that Tatiana, 18, had breached the code of conduct and contract.
.
First runner-up Shweta Sekhon, 19, was named as the new Miss Malaysia World 2016/17.
When
contacted, Lin said that Tatiana and her family had made several
offensive posts on both the Internet and social media regarding the Miss
Malaysia World organisation.
.
“There are certain formalities, and
she has also breached one involving an important sponsor. This has led
to the contract being terminated,” added Lin, who is currently in
London.
.
Tatiana was crowned Miss Malaysia World 2016/17 in August last
year. She represented Malaysia on the world stage in the finals in
December in Maryland, the United States.
.
Lin was the national
director and official licensee for Miss Malaysia World from 2013 to
2016. She had announced that she was stepping down from her role as of
January this year, with the reason that her term had ended.
.
Tatiana’s
father, Kumar Nandha, confirmed that she had been served a legal letter
about the termination through email on March 3. “She has done nothing
wrong,” Kumar said over the phone but declined to comment further.
