Pageantry[edit]
Miss Universe 2022[edit]
She represented Malaysia at the Miss Universe 2022 competition in New Orleans, US on 14 January 2023,[3] but was unplaced, this mark as the ”51 years of consecutive unplacements” for Malaysia in Miss Universe pageant history.[4]
Scandals[edit]
A video uploaded on Saturday 8 October 2022, shows Cheam talking while showing a souvenir that resembles a black dildo on her Instagram and Facebook personal account, she also demonstrates how to hold and suck it, making it aroused and erect.[5][6] This triggered a negative response from many Malaysian netizens, who consider it indecent to show a dildo in a video, especially seeing her title as Miss Universe Malaysia. This incident saw Cheam nicknamed Miss Dildo.[7]
Cheam's criticism on social media, resulted in her reducing her social media presence.[8][9] An unsuccessful petition was setup on Change.org by the Malaysian Pageant Lovers organization. It asked participants to have Ajunee Kaur, the first runner up of Miss Universe Malaysia 2022, replace Cheam in the Miss Universe 2022 pageant.[10]
