ABOUT MMIGLOBAL
The Miss MalaysiaIndian Global (MMIGLOBAL) personal empowerment pageant was conceived by Pushparani Thilaganathan in the year 2000 as a social development programme targeting young Malaysian women of Indian or part of Indian descent (at least one grandparent descending from the Indian Ocean).
Unlike other conventional pageants, the Miss MalaysiaIndian Global pageant’s primary thrust is the personal and professional enhancement of the Malaysian woman of Indian descent. The pageant identifies and nurturers girls to become inspirers and mentors in Malaysia and globally through its cross culture volunteer programmes. The pageant focusses less on beauty and physique and more on the overall devlopment and presentation of the women. Held on a national scale, the pageant is a finely etched programme that draws participants from all corners of Malaysia and audiences from across the segments.The Grandfinals is a pioneering event filled with glamour and world-class presentation.
