KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — Come and follow in the footsteps of pageant beauties like Kiran Jassal, Vanessa Tevi, Sabrina Beneett and Carey Ng as the walk-in auditions for Miss Universe Malaysia 2017 will soon open with roadshows to be held across five states every weekend this coming June.

Open to all non-Muslim Malaysian females aged between 18 to 25 years with a minimum height of 168cm, the Miss Universe Malaysia Organisation (Mumo) team will be travelling to five states across Malaysia including East Malaysia.

“Unlike previous years, the vision for Mumo moving forward is to create a social media driven pageant that empowers women in Malaysia to aspire to our core values of being hip, urban, relevant and real,” said Mumo National Director, Elaine Daly.

“We want Malaysian girls who believe that she has what it takes and possess the confidence to impress us at the audition. It doesn't matter if she doesn’t speak perfect English. As Malaysians, we all speak different dialects and languages. But what’s important is that the candidate must be comfortable and confident,” she continued.
