Miss World Malaysia 2009

Law student Thanuja Ananthan believes in second chances. Although she was only a finalist in Miss World Malaysia last year, she persevered and returned to win the Miss World Malaysia 2009 crown.

The first runner up was Stefanie Chua, while Christy Yeoh was the second runner up.

Thanuja will be in London to participate in various Miss World activities next month before the big day in Johannesberg, South Africa on Dec 12.

The proceeds from this year’s pageant will go to the StART Society that provides underprivileged children with the opportunity to develop their potential in arts.
