There will be a major focus on wellness this year and the preparation process will cover various areas, still including deportment, etiquette, stage presentation, communications and interview techniques. “Tutorials in makeup, hygiene, personal care, skincare and deportment will be given by product providers”, he added.
This year the winning contestant will need to be well enough to be of service in nation-building and they’ll need to be of service to the MUJ Organisation.
