Cambodian calls for justice after being pulled out as co-host of Miss Grand International 2024

Today 17:44Key points summarised by AI

Cambodia was abruptly removed as co-host of Miss Grand International (MGI) 2024, with all events relocated to Bangkok, sparking widespread outrage and criticism.
Im Sokunthea, National Country Director of Miss Grand Cambodia, refuted MGI's claims of unprofessionalism, stating Cambodia fulfilled its obligations while MGI President Nawat Itsaragrisil made independent, last-minute decisions and unfairly blamed the host country.
The controversy led to the withdrawal of Miss Grand Cambodia, Sotheary Bee, and Miss Grand Costa Rica, Macarena Chamberlain, who cited the impact of the sudden changes on their well-being and mental health.
