MRS UNIVERSE CAROL LEE TO RELINQUISH CROWN ON 29 AUGUST 2014

Carol Lee is the first Malaysian and only Asian to win the Mrs Universe 2013 title in the Caribbean island nation of Aruba.

Last night on 29 august 2014 she ended her reign when she crowned her successor, Mrs USA, at Sunway Resort, Spa and Hotel.

Organised by Sogo department store, this was also the first time a major international contest was held in Malaysia. Said Carol Lee, 40, married to businessman Kenneth Lee with daughter Klarissa, 7, “This is also the first time in Mrs Universe’s history we are scrapping the swimsuit section out of respect to local norms and sensibilities. I wore a swimsuit in Aruba last year.

“Participants must be married as this is the main criteria but need not be a mother.

“I must stress Mrs Universe is not a beauty pageant but a ‘forum’. Each delegate is given 3 minutes to talk on violence against women in her country, the campaigns against it, challenges women face and how she is involved in improving the lot of women.”

The theme each year always focuses on women’s issues. “In Aruba, it was domestic violence. This year the Malaysian organising committee under KL Sogo decided to be more general rather than concentrating on a specific agenda like sexual harassment at work, rape, domestic violence or sexual abuse by husband.

“I competed against 33 other Mrs Universe. The Malaysian edition had 38 contestants from across the globe."

At 5ft 8 inches and 59 kg, Carol Lee cuts an imposing figure in high heels. She admitted she had high hopes of being in the top 3.

“I knew I had a good chance as I went well prepared and my presentation was concise, precise and most comprehensive.”

She also won Mrs Popular subsidiary title after garnering over 96,000 online votes.

Mrs Universe Ltd is founded and owned by Megi Savova from Bulgaria and is now into its eighth year.

Beamed Carol Lee, “I was offered the opportunity to hold Mrs Universe 2014 in Kuala Lumpur as winners get first right of refusal. The deal was sealed when Malaysia’s biggest department store KL Sogo agreed to be main presenter.

“Our aims are 2 pronged---to highlight and eradicate mindless violence against women and to promote tourism since this also Visit Malaysia Year. We are supported by Tourism Malaysia.”

Surprisingly, winners get only the crown, trophy and sash. “No cash!” grinned Carol Lee. “No modelling contract or lucrative advertisement or endorsement. All we get is an experience to last a lifetime! In my capacity as Mrs Universe 2013, I can easily promote issues close to my heart like children and animal welfare."

However, for the first time, the new Mrs Universe 2014 will win RM 30,000 worth of jewellery from Emperor Fine Jewellery. First and second runners-up will receive RM 15,000 and RM 5,000 worth of Emperor jewels.

Carol Lee holds a Bachelor in Commerce degree from Curtin University of Technology, runs her own Child Enrichment Centre at Sogo, presents news for TV3 and is a popular emcee. And to think her first title was ‘Parkroyal Hotel Employee of the Year 1993!

The new Mrs Universe 2014 is Mrs USA.
