History

edit

Miss Cosmo World was founded by Carrie Lee Sze Kei,[3] drawing on her experience as the winner of the Miss Chinese Cosmos International Pageant in 2004.[4][5] Established in 2006, the event has developed into an international beauty pageant based in Malaysia. Carrie Lee began her career as a pageant organizer over a decade ago with the Miss Chinese Cosmos International Pageant, promoting the beauty and talent of women worldwide.[6] In 2017, she rebranded the event as Miss CosmoWorld, expanding its reach internationally while maintaining its Malaysian roots.[7]

Miss Cosmo World's mission focuses on promoting Malaysia's heritage and culture on an international platform. Through showcasing beauty, talent, and cultural expression, the pageant aims to enhance global awareness and understanding of Malaysian identity.[8] In addition to cultural promotion, Miss Cosmo World emphasizes women's empowerment, aiming to support and guide women in their personal and professional growth.[9] The pageant offers initiatives that provide participants with opportunities in areas such as grooming and entrepreneurship, helping them develop skills and resources for future success.[7]

In recent years, Miss Cosmo World has introduced projects to help past contestants in their career and personal development, which have produced positive outcomes. The organization aims to continue its efforts to empower women and celebrate cultural diversity, with plans for further growth and expansion.[7]
