However, Loo was not able to represent Malaysia on the grounds of not willing to compete.[4] Following the rules of the pageant, in for any reason the winner cannot fulfill her duty, the runner-up will take over the crown and title. In this case, the runner-up Rosemary Wan replaced her as the winner. She represented Malaysia at Miss Universe 1969 pageant in Miami, Florida.[5] This was the first time in the history of Miss Universe Malaysia where the runner-up represents the country at the international stage.
