History

The first state pageant of Miss Grand Malaysia in Selangor was held in 2019 after the license was granted to a Kuala Lumpur-based organizer, Samuel. The contest consisted of fourteen finalists who were determined through audition rounds and the final contest happened on February 24, 2019, at Empire Hotel in Subang Jaya, where a 21-year-old university student from Shah Alam, Haaraneei Muthu Kumar, was named the first Miss Grand Selangor.

The competition license was transferred to another organizer, Kingsley Tham, the following year. However, the pageant was halted in 2022 after the national license of Miss Grand Malaysia was transferred to Sean Wong of HyperLive Entertainment Pte. Ltd., and the state franchise has not been distributed since then.^[3]
