Miss Grand Malaysia 2017 was the second edition of the Miss Grand Malaysia pageant, held on August 4, 2017,[1][2][3] in the Grand Pacific Ballroom, Evolve Concept Mall, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.[2][4][5] Sixteen candidates, who qualified for the national stage through the state pageant or national audition, competed for the title.[2][5]
At the end of the event, a 25-year-old biomedical science student representing Sabah, Sanjeda John, was announced the winner.[4][3] Sanjeda later represented Malaysia in the international parent stage, Miss Grand International 2017, held in October that year in Vietnam, but she was unplaced.[6] Meanwhile, the representative of Kuala Lumpur, Sanjna Suri, won the supplemental title of Miss Intercontinental Malaysia 2017,[4][3] and was placed among the top 18 finalists after competing internationally in Egypt.[7]
The event was hosted by celebrities Nigel Chin and Brynn Lovett,[5] and was also attended by Miss Grand International's president Nawat Itsaragrisil as well as Miss Grand International 2016 Ariska Putri Pertiwi of Indonesia.[5]
