The pageant finals had a shortlist of 20 young women from various fields, made up of lawyers, teachers, actresses, entrepreneurs and doctors. Medical doctors Nisha Thayananthan and Amanda Hong made it to the top 6 in the Grand Final.

Juliana Sambai Anak Sibat of Sarawak and Melissa Jespoh Raj won the 1st Princess and 2nd Princess titles respectively.

"Taking inspiration from Miss World Organisation Founder Mrs Julia Morley's Beauty With A Purpose charity mission, I hope to provide a platform for beauty queens of Miss World Malaysia to contribute to society by reaching out to disadvantaged families," said award-winning singer songwriter Sean Wong, the National Director of Miss World Malaysia.

The finalists were each asked to submit a Beauty With A Purpose project proposal, with the selected projects to be adopted by the Miss World Malaysia Organisation. This year, the organisation pledged RM10,000 to support the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) and RM5,000 to Dignity For Children Foundation to support children's education.
"Miss World Malaysia is a truly unique platform that could train and empower young women of Malaysia, instilling in them good life values while nurturing them and strengthening their mindsets," said Eric Goh, Managing Director of Fantastic Golden, the official licensee of the pageant.

Alexis SueAnn will be representing Malaysia at the Miss World 2019 Final in London on 14th December 2019 in London. The annual event sees contestants from over 130 countries, and will be aired live to around 180 countries, with an estimated 1 billion viewers. 

Best of luck to Alexis from us!
