The third season of the Malaysian reality talent show Project SuperStar Malaysia, based on the Singaporean reality show of the same name began on 2 February 2008 on 8TV. For the third consecutive season, Gary Yap and Cheryl Lee returned as hosts.
The show premiered on 9 February 2008, with the live finals aired on 3 May 2008 at Malawati Stadium. Kay Guo, the winner of the female category, was announced as the overall winner of the season, with male category winner Chee Shi Hau as the overall runner-up. Guo was also the first female winner of Project Superstar Malaysia, as well as the first female winner in the entire Project Superstar franchise; she received a cash prize of RM$10,000 and a Recording Contract from EMI, while Chee was awarded a cash prize of RM$2,000.
Over 4,000 aspirants auditioned for the competition when it was announced. Auditions took place in late 2007 and the final selection of the top 24 were revealed to the public for the first time on 16 February 2008. Their finalists were showcased in one episode on 17 February 2008.
On the live shows up until the grand finals, the voting percentages were modified, with both the judges' scores and public votes take up 50% of the scores each, instead of 70%-30% as opposed to the previous seasons.
