This year’s competition brought together an impressive high-profile attendees roster of guests, with Y.M.

Embracing Cultural Heritage Through Pageantry
Miss CosmoWorld Malaysia has gained a reputation for its unique approach to pageantry, which emphasizes not only beauty but also Malaysia’s cultural richness and heritage. Y.M. Tengku Dato’ Dr. Hishammuddin Zaizi Bin Y.A.M Tengku Bendahara Azman Shah Alhaj highlighted the event’s impact on both Malaysia’s global reputation and cultural promotion: “Miss CosmoWorld has always been a great platform to promote to the global stage young Malaysian ladies who not only possess beauty but also skills that go beyond their looks…[they] will serve as a reflection of Malaysia’s beauty, diversity, and potential.”
In alignment with this vision, Miss CosmoWorld Malaysia’s 2024 theme, “Roman,” underscores the responsibility of today’s actions for a better future, encouraging young women to lead with purpose. Datin Sri Jekkie, representing event sponsor MeLife Global (M) Sdn. Bhd., expressed her appreciation for the theme, stating, “Together with me, my MeLife team strives to enhance woman beauty naturally. Let’s be an inspiring role model and work towards a better world.”
Championing Female Empowerment
This year’s competition highlighted the importance of female empowerment, with Ms. Carrie Lee, the event founder, explaining that Miss CosmoWorld Malaysia is more than a beauty pageant—it is a platform for young women to develop essential skills. “As we enter our 8th consecutive year, the Miss CosmoWorld organization is dedicated to providing a platform that nurtures the talents, skills, and hard work of young ladies throughout Malaysia. This event will create a valuable opportunity for our future beauty queens from diverse cultures to share, educate, and learn from each other’s experiences,” she stated.
With sustainability as a key theme, this year’s pageant also initiated “A Day to Save the Earth, A Day to Save Life,” promoting environmental consciousness among contestants. The focus on community impact reflects Miss CosmoWorld Malaysia’s commitment to making a positive social difference. In addition to cash prizes and benefits totaling RM 200,000, each delegate receives training to help them achieve their entrepreneurial goals, further empowering them as leaders in their own right.
