Segalanya bermula apabila wakil Malaysia dalam Miss Universe 2019, Shweta Sekhon dijemput keatas pentas kerana memenangi anugerah kostum terbaik yang membawa tema makanan tradisi. Namun paparan LCD menunjukkan bahawa pemenang anugerah berkenaan adalah wakil dari Filipina. Shweta Sekhon kemudiannya meminta microfon dari Steve dan menjelaskan bahawa beliau dari Malaysia, bukan dari Filipina. Setakat ini tiada kenyataan rasmi dari pihak Miss Universe mengenai insiden berkenaan.
Miss Phillippines Is Best National Costume!! This is not Good!#MissUniverse2019 #GaziniGanados5 pic.twitter.com/QIYzoTJahs— Jimbo Bernaldez (@snupythecasper) December 9, 2019
Kesilapan ini telah mengundang pelbagai reaksi netizen antarabangsa yang mempertikaikan keputusan anugerah berkenaan.
So why you have miss Malaysia show her custom? You should've announced it clearly that Gazini won but she is in top 20 and can't wear it now so you're showing cool costume from Malaysia instead. I'm not Philippine neither Malaysian but I can feel how upset they are.— Oii Chomphunoot 👑 (@oiichomphu) December 9, 2019
Y’all should get your act straight. Asking Shweta to present her national costume can be misleading to some of the audience, thinking Malaysia had won the title. Publicity at its best, but it’s tbh offensive to the countries involved.— 𝒮𝒸𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂 𝒬𝓊𝑒𝑒𝓃 (@tannieyurrhh) December 9, 2019
Come on, Miss Universe. You're better than that right?? What happened? I wish Philippines should've have the proper recognition in this award. So dissapointed. Also, I feel sorry to Malaysia.— Erin Louisse Montefalco (@erin_mntflc) December 9, 2019
