GEORGE TOWN, Feb 27 — Penang-born Dheper Reshaa Teh is aiming to make Malaysia proud by winning the Miss Teen Universe 2021, scheduled to be held on March 3 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.
“I dare not say I’m very confident but I’m confident. I have been keeping up well on my diet as I have a personal nutritionist to look after my daily intake. I’m keeping my health in check and have received my Covid-19 booster jab to ensure I’m fit and ready for the competition,” she told Bernama before departing to Dubai at the Penang International Airport yesterday.
“At first, it’s quite stressful to find out about the postponement but I use this period to practise my catwalk as well as public speaking skills to make sure that I’m well prepared for the competition,” she said, adding that she was informed about the date only last month. “It was a very special moment for me after being nominated as one of the finalists at the 2021 Miss Teen Universe. I am even more excited knowing that I will be able to represent my country at such a stage where I will be competing with fellow beauties,” she said.
