Miss Grand Kuala Lumpur is a Malaysian state-level beauty pageant which selects representatives from Kuala Lumpur to the Miss Grand Malaysia national competition, [1] [2] [3] [4] founded in 2017 by a Kuala Lumpur-based entrepreneur, Meris Waldorf of Me Rich Sdn Bhd. [1]

Contents

Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Malaysia pageant, Kuala Lumpur's representatives have never won the competition three times but were named runners-up in 2017 and 2018, [5] [6] as well as won the supplemental title of Miss Intercontinental Malaysia in 2021. [7]

History

After acquiring the license of Miss Grand Malaysia in 2017, Jude Benjamin Lisa began franchising the state competitions to individual organizers, who would name the state representatives to compete in the national pageant, the license for Kuala Lumpur was granted to a Kuala Lumpur-based entrepreneur, Meris Waldorf of Me Rich Sdn Bhd, who then organized the first contest of Miss Grand Kuala Lumpur on July 15, 2017, at the Panggung Anniversari, Kuala Lumpur, in which a 19-year-old dentistry student, Parveen Sidhu, was named the first Miss Grand Kuala Lumpur. [1]

The competition license was transferred to Jacqueline Liwanag Malabuyoc and Rosalinda Talip in 2018 and 2020, respectively. [2] [3] It was halted in 2022 after the national license of Miss Grand Malaysia was transferred to Sean Wong of HyperLive Entertainment Pte. Ltd., and the state franchise has not been distributed since then. [8]
