"Hello Everyone!

Firstly a very big THANK YOU & GRATITUDE to Julia Morley for being a good friend, assistance and support over the years as my term as National Director & official licensee for Miss Malaysia World. I'm thankful for the opportunity given and never ending friendship and support.

I would like to make this a public announcement I'm stepping down as licensee and National Director for both pageants Miss & Mister Malaysia World.

Nevertheless my links and ties with Miss World Organisation are strong and still on existing projects with them and loyally supporting Miss World Organisation UK.

I wish the new licensee for year 2017 the very best of luck and hope you can produce Miss World 2017 for Malaysia.

All the very best.

With love ?,

Dato' Anna Lin"

There was another message posted to announce Corus Hotel & Metrojaya will not participate for Miss Malaysia World 2017 with the new licensee and will not be main sponsors for Miss Malaysia World 2017.

A lot of people are saying the reason behind relinquishing the Miss World franchise due to lack of trust issues being faced. However, the official reason is still unknown. What do you think?
