Host country
Malaysia was selected by the Miss Universe organization to be the host country twice in Miss Universe 1976 and Miss Universe 1990 but due to the lack of supports from the Malaysian government and the private sector during the year, therefore hampered the efforts of all parties involved to make it a reality. The pageants then changed to a new place which were British Hong Kong in 1976 and California, USA in 1990.
