Homegrown World Noble Queen 2018 finals to be held in Cambodia

Malaysia’s homegrown Miss & Mrs World Noble Queen International pageant is set for its fourth edition at DNA Star Vegas Resort & Casino Hotel, Poipet, Cambodia during 7th – 14th December 2018.

Thirty delegates from all over the world will vie for the crown in the Miss & Mrs World Noble Queen International 2018 grand finals on 13th December 2018.

Jan Sit, founder and president of World Noble Queen International, said the pageant, despite being four years old now has received tremendous support from participants from all over the world since she started in 2015 as Asia Noble Queen and expanded to World Noble Queen in 2017.

“I’ve always striven for excellence taking one step beyond others and keeping up with changing industry trends with a vision of not only the local markets but also the world.

“I’m proud to bring this homegrown pageant brand in the international arena and one day to be a top-ranking international pageant, renowned for its high standards,” she said.

“We hosted the pageant in Malaysia twice, in 2015 and 2016. We then decided to bring the pageant abroad to a different country so last year it was successfully held in Myanmar with participants from 18 countries and this year the number increased to over 30 countries competing in Cambodia. We hope to grow it further with a large increase in participating countries in the 2019 pageant.

“We wanted our international participants to have a really memorable experience of the local culture in the host country and to promote world peace by speaking out against violence in line with the pageant theme of Beauty and the Peace,” she added.

Jan Sit said putting together a successful international pageant overseas presented more challenges than hosting a local one.

“When we change to overseas locations, there are challenges that take a whole lot of work like looking for different sponsors, partners and taking into account the local customs and regulations but if we do our best and do what is required with diligence and perseverance, we can achieve success.

“As we prepare for the grand finals, we would like to say a special thanks to all our sponsors and partners for their huge commitment and active contribution for making this event becomes reality,” she said.

Jan Sit is a former Miss Malaysia beauty queen, who have won the Mrs Asia Noble Queen International 2015 and Mrs. South East Asia International 2011 beauty pageants. She is now leading a happy and fulfilling life, having been a fashion and beauty coach and consultant for over 20 years.

Malaysia’s representative to the world finals in Cambodia is Claryst Kuon, a 23-year-old dance choreographer from Bintulu, Sarawak.

With less than a month to go before the crowning of Miss & Mrs World Noble Queen 2018, Kuon is putting the final touches to her preparation and ready to embark on the new journey.

“I am very happy to represent Malaysia and I hope to do Malaysia proud in this pageant. I look forward to seeing new places and meeting new people from different cultures in Cambodia,” she said.

The 170 cm (5’ 7”) tall beauty who is of mix Chinese-Iban/Bidayuh is no stranger to competitions having previously competed and was crowned winner of Miss Congeniality Sarawak 2016 and The Face 2 for M.O Couture 2016.
