Host and panelist
The host and panelist for The Masked Singer Malaysia were revealed on the official press conference on 8 September 2020. The host for The Masked Singer Malaysia is the nation's well known entertainer, Dato' AC Mizal. The panelist consisting of nine popular local celebrities who played role as permanent jury.[5] Prior to the airing of its first episode, ten posters of the host and panelist with hidden faces were published by ASTRO as a teaser for the program.[6]
Concept
Twelve contestants who are well-known figures from various backgrounds, such as singers, actors, hosts, athletes and more, will be vying for the top spot by charming the audience and jury with just their voices.[7] They will be judged by a panel of jury made up of popular local celebrities. To further keep the contestants' identities top secret, only eight members of the production team have been entrusted with their true identities.[8] Every week, before each performance, a video clip will be revealed to the audience as a clue for the identity of each contestant. After each performance, the jury members are required to make a guess and name 3 celebrities who are most likely to be the identity behind the masked singer. In the end of the show, one contestant with the lowest rank will be eliminated based on the marks percentage given by the panelist. His or her face will then be revealed for the first time. The only contestant to remain masked until the final elimination round will be named the first champion of "The Masked Singer Malaysia".[9] The show, which is taped weekly with a live audience at Royal Theatre, Shah Alam, is held on a smaller scale than usual. The number of audience members is limited in compliance with current social distancing procedures.[10][11]
Costume design
