Mr. Malaysia: Kumareswarren is the reigning champion

Kumareswarren Ramasamy has emerged as the undisputed champion of Mr. Malaysia 2023 after a remarkable 15-year journey in the world of bodybuilding.

“I am very happy to have won the title of Mr. Malaysia after a lot of hard work. Although I have participated in and won many other competitions, this title is very special for me after undergoing training twice a day since the beginning of the year,” Kumareswarren told Bernama.

Kumareswarren’s Journey

“There’s no sugar or fried food, only brown rice, chicken breast, vegetables, and oats in my diet,” Kumareswarren revealed, underscoring the meticulous attention he paid to his nutrition.

“To be in this field is not an easy journey because I also have to spend a lot of money – which is entirely borne by myself – for expenses such as food and supplements, but this is my passion, so it’s worth it,” he acknowledged.

The competition, organized by the Malaysian Bodybuilding Federation (MBBF), took place at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Danger, Selangor, from October 12th to 16th.
