Miss Globe Singapore 2026 draws praise for speech on kindness and youth empowerment

Miss Globe 2026 Singapore representative Nazia Hassane is earning praise online after delivering an eloquent speech on kindness, communication and empowering youths at the Miss Globe 2026 pageant in Phuket, Thailand.

In an Instagram video shared on Nov 1, Hassane is seen giving her speech during the pageant’s Head-to-Head Challenge, where contestants were given the chance to share their views on issues close to their hearts.

Introducing herself on stage, Hassane said she was “extremely proud” to represent Singapore and highlighted the many roles she plays in her daily life.

“I am a financial analyst, a freelance model and a grassroots leader. But beyond these roles, I’m also a daughter, a sister and a human first,” she said.

She also went on to share her belief: “Success cannot be measured by how far we rise, but by how far we help to raise those around us.”

Drawing on her years of volunteer work, Hassane highlighted Project Avenir, a youth mentoring initiative she founded that provides one-to-one holistic mentorship for youths of different backgrounds.

“I would like to use this platform to hopefully make a difference one person at a time,” she added.

In another segment, Hassane touched on the importance of communication.

She said: “We have to articulate and make sure that we say the right things. We have to process the words that we say so that we don’t offend the other person.”

Hassane ultimately ranked in the Top 21, with Vietnam snagging the winning crown.

Netizens in the comments section were impressed by her confidence and eloquence.

One netizen wrote: “Perfectly well spoken and a great platform.”

“Beauty with brain! Congratulations queen,” wrote another.
