Contest, it all started with a humble ambition of preserving the wearing of
‘Baju Kebaya’ among the younger generations.
“Initially, everyone thought Ratu Kebaya Contest would just be another
beauty competition, but because of its significance in preserving the
‘Kebaya’ from the cultural aspect, KBJ Ratu Kebaya created a noticeable
mark in the pageant industry and earned due respects from the industry
players. It brings back the glory of the Kebaya costume,” she added.
