Miss Grand Malaysia is an annual female beauty pageant in Malaysia, aiming to select the country representative for Miss Grand International, which is an annual international beauty pageant promoting World Peace and against all kinds of conflicts.
[13][14] After three years of hiatus, the pageant was brought back in 2017 by a public relation and digital marketing consultant from Sarawak Jude Benjamin Lisa, who served as the national licensee for Miss Grand International in Malaysia during 2015 to 2021.
Together with the business partner Josh Oneill, he also set up the event organizer privately held firm Introducing Talent Sdn Bhd to be responsible for managing the affiliated pageant,[6] beginning with the second edition of Miss Grand Malaysia, in which Sanjeda John from Sabah was named the winner at a contest held at Evolve Concept Mall in Selangor on 5 August outclassing 15 other finalists.
[3] Beginning with three state pageants in 2017 including Sabah, Sarawak, and Kuala Lumpur,[4] Melaka became the fourth member in 2018,[16] while Selangor and Johor firstly joined the contest in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
[6] Originally, the organizer planned to conduct the 2020 physical contest at Bangi Avenue Convention Centre in late June,[18] but postponed it twice, first to mid-October,[19] and then to 30 January 2021.
