Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia is inviting all single, married and divorced ladies from all over Malaysia to participate in the Miss/Mrs Plus Size World Malaysia 2020, and vie for the chance to represent Malaysia on the international stage at the Miss/Mrs Plus World 2021 in the United States.

Applicants must also be between the ages of 20 and 35 for Miss Plus World Malaysia and 36 onwards for Mrs Plus World Malaysia.

MPW is a world class respected and prestigious pageant for plus size ladies designed to empower and encourage its queens, contestants and families to be involved in their communities to serve as ambassadors.

According to Miss/Mrs Plus Size World Malaysia national director Ziinine.A.Britshi, even though auditions are scheduled to start from August 29 to 30 at Sunway Putra Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, pre-selections have already begun.

“More than 100 ladies nationwide have filled and submitted their application forms.

“It’s overwhelming, we’re still receiving so many applications and inquiries, however, we will only invite those who we believe have the required criteria of the competition,” he said.

According to Ziinine, the Miss/Mrs Plus Size World Malaysia is a humanitarian driven organisation which promotes success through leadership, integrity, sisterhood, character and confidence in its pageant contestants.

There will be no bikini or swimsuits shows in the pageant.

Instead the final rounds for the show will be all about national and elegant costumes.

“We will teach our queens how to be articulate, intelligent and compassionate.

“They must be aware of the world’s diplomacy and be ambassadors of peace and they are to respect cultural differences as well,” adding that in the competition, the costumes are to display pride and elegance of Malaysia’s beauty and multi-cultures.

This is the first time Malaysia will be taking part in the international pageant as well as Ziinine first time being selected as the first National Director of Plus World to organise a national pageant in Malaysia.
