TFW #23: Being a “Malay Model” in 2019 with Alicia Amin (@hangriii) - a podcast by Arnold Loh & Lucas Lau

The first model this has ever seen and hopefully not the last. You probably watched Alicia Amin (@hangriii) on Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 5 and didn’t even know it because she’s not the type to scream out for attention, in an annoying “reality TV character” type of way. Don’t get us wrong, she can get in your face if she needs to and you’d know that upon meeting her for the first time. 

Alicia breaks down what it’s like to be a “Malay Model” in Malaysia in 2019. Backlash on social media. Traditional media even. It’s a shit storm but she tells us how she manages that, hustles to pay for a mortgage and tries to have fun along the way. All this at only 24 years young. Take some damn notes!
