The pageant was conceived by the Shaw Organisation in 1960 as a beauty pageant competition to find the representatives for Malaya and Borneo (North Borneo and Sarawak) for the Miss International pageant. Malaya first competed in Miss International was in 1960. The country was represented by Zanariah Ahmad (later Tunku Puan Zanariah) while Elizabeth Voon of North Borneo represented Borneo at the 1st edition of the pageant.
From 1960 until mid 1970s, Shaw Organisation organised the pageant, then taken over by Far East Beauty Congress for a few years and Exclusive Resources Marketing Pte Ltd from 2010 until 2016. The pageant is considered as one of the oldest international beauty pageant in Malaysia.
In 2023, the national competition was supported by the government under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture to improve the quality and excitement of beauty pageant competition in Malaysia. The pageant was also organised by Persatuan Pentas Anak Seni Malaysia (PPASM) and GRISM.
Malaysia has placed two times in the 1960s and had not been placed until 2023, where Cassandra Yap of Johor placed in the top 15. This is additionally Malaysia's most recent, and third placement. However, Malaysia was also short-listed into the final ranking of the top 30 and top 25 during the 2019 and 2024 editions, respectively.
