Lesley Cheam Wei Yeng (1995/1996 (age 29–30)) is a Malaysian beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2022. She represented her country in the Miss Universe 2022 pageant.[1]
Early life and background
Cheam was born in Selangor, Malaysia. She obtained a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical and health science from University of Nottingham Malaysia in 2019 before pursuing a career in marketing.[2]
Pageantry
Miss Universe 2022
She represented Malaysia at the Miss Universe 2022 competition in New Orleans, US on 14 January 2023,[3] but was unplaced, marking 51 years of consecutive unplacements for Malaysia in the Miss Universe pageant history.[4]
Scandals
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 given 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 set up on Change.org by the Malaysian Pageant Lovers organization, asking for Ajunee Kaur, the first runner-up of Miss Universe Malaysia 2022, to replace Cheam in the Miss Universe 2022 pageant.[10]
