The results are finally in and Pamela Yau, 42, from Malaysia and Sun Shao Mei, 69, from Hong Kong are declared the winners of Mrs Celebrity International 2024 and Mrs Classic Celebrity International 2024 respectively.
The glittering finale of the Mrs Celebrity International 2024 organised by International Celebrity Pageant Group was held at Galaxy Banquet Hall, Sentul in Kuala Lumpur on July 26, 2024.
The pageant promotes two essential causes: Zero Hate and Zero Waste, highlighting the significance of environmental consciousness and social responsibility practices.
Pamela Yau said she felt honoured and proud to be Mrs Celebrity International 2024 winner.
“Winning the title was a dream come true. It feels surreal and immensely gratifying to see my hard work and dedication recognized on such a prestigious platform,” said the mother of four children.
“This title is not just a personal achievement but also a testament to the unwavering support of my family, friends and mentors who believed in me every step of the way.
“I am deeply grateful for this opportunity and excited to use this platform to inspire and empower others.”
Yau, standing tall at 176 cm (5’ 9”) was born in Kuala Terengganu and now resides in Kuala Lumpur. She started modelling at age 20, and transitioned to being a catwalk coach when she was 38.
“I have only entered one beauty pageant before, Miss Malaysia Negeri Sembilan, where I was the first runner-up. This achievement opened the door for me to pursue modelling as a career.
“Transitioning to a catwalk coach has allowed me to share my knowledge and passion with aspiring models, helping them navigate the industry and build their confidence just as I did.”
About zero waste, Yau said, “I believe that waste is a very serious issue for our world. We unknowingly waste a lot of resources, but by using small techniques like recycling old items, bartering, reducing waste, and practicing recycling, we can make a small contribution to our country and our planet. This will help ensure a better future for our future generations.”
Sun Shao Mei said, “I’m deeply honoured to win Mrs Classic Celebrity International 2024. This is not only a recognition of my professional skills but also an award for my enthusiasm towards society.
“I would like to thank the judges for their affirmation and trust, and I will cherish this honour even more.”
Sun is the president of Jiangsu New Space Group and the chairman of Jiangsu New Space Media.
A mom with one daughter and also a grandma now with four grandchildren, Sun has won several beauty competitions, including the titles Star Mrs. World 2024, United Nations World 2022 and Mrs. Globe Central China 2017.
“After winning Mrs Classic Celebrity International 2024, I understand even more that beauty is not just about appearance but also about inner kindness, wisdom and courage.
“I will continue to maintain a sense of beauty, not only for myself but also to convey positive energy to more people, letting my beauty become a force that influences and inspires others,” said Sun.
There were also a total of 13 subsidiary titles awarded such as Best Country Cultural of the Year, Best Voice of the Year, Best National Costume, Best Catwalk and Most Popularity of the Year.
Supported by Tourism Malaysia, the Mrs Celebrity International pageant highlighted the rich cultural heritage of Malaysia and showcased the traditional costumes of participating countries in this year’s pageant, including Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Philippines and Malaysia.
International Celebrity Pageant Group founder Lennard Tan emphasized the organisation’s deep commitment to celebrating and promoting the traditional and cultural heritage that defines Malaysia.
“This year’s event underscores the importance of cultural exchange in fostering understanding and unity among nations. Our mission and vision extend beyond cultural promotion.
“We are dedicated to advocating for a world with zero hate and zero waste. Our events are designed to foster respect and appreciation among diverse communities, while also encouraging sustainable practices that protect our environment,” Tan said.
