The top 4 winners of the night, Lina Soong, Kiran Jassal, Dhivya Dhyana and Swarna Naidu

We have a new Miss Universe Malaysia and it is none other than Subang Jaya lass Kiran Jassal. She was crowned in a glamourous gala night held at the Palace of the Golden Horses that saw the attendance of over 600 VIP guests like Aishah Sinclair, Hannah Tan and Thanuja Ananthan.

A panel of nine judges including Elaine Daly, Awal Ashaari, Sonny San, Dato' Sri Navneet Goenka, Datuk Wira Rahadian Mahmud Khalil, Shawn Loong, Jeff Lee, Dato' Dr Ko Chung Beng and Zaihani Mohd Zain presided over many rounds of judging before Kiran was eventually chosen to succeed the crown from last year's winner, Vanessa Tevi. The other top four winners of the night are, in winning order, Dhivya Dhyana, Lina Soong, Swarna Naidu and Nisha Sema.
