The gala night of Miss International Malaysia Semenanjung 2023 (MIMS 2023), the first ever pageant to incorporate the effort of boosting Malaysian tourism and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the pageant industry, was held today at Sofitel Kuala Lumpur. The event was officiated by YBrs. Mr. Manoharan Periasamy, Senior Director, International Promotions (Asia/Africa) of Tourism Malaysia and witnessed by Datuk Wira Dr. Calvin Khiu, Chairman of OE Edugroup.

The Miss International Malaysia pageant has strived to differentiate itself from other typical pageants via its activities that are specially-curated from the perspective of the promotion of tourism, arts and culture through fashion and beauty as contestants are tested to showcase their creativity in traditional dances, culinary arts and local fashion pieces to name a few. Throughout the competition, Malaysia’s diverse cultures, attractions, and landmarks were showcased through various segments, and posted on YouTube, allowing the world to follow the participants’ journeys more closely. MIM encouraged contestants to post their travelogues featuring Malaysia’s main attractions, promoting the country’s tourism to their followers and social media users worldwide.

It proves to be a vital ally in achieving this aspiration as the contestants, hailed from different parts of the country, share their unique customs and traditions, painting a vivid tapestry of Malaysia’s cultural diversity.
