History
The tournament was inaugurated in 1962 as the Malayan Open, and was one of the events on the first season of the Far East Circuit that year. In 1999, it joined the Asian Tour and also became part of the European Tour's expansion into Asia as a jointly sanctioned event.
The six events from 2010 to 2015 were held at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club. The 2015 champion was India's Anirban Lahiri. This was his first ever victory on the European Tour and it was his sixth win on the Asian Tour.
The tournament returned in 2020 after a four year hiatus. It was played as a sole-sanctioned Asian Tour event at Kota Permai Golf & Country Club. The prize fund was US$1,000,000. Trevor Simsby took the title in a playoff over Andrew Dodt and Jarin Todd. It was the final event played before the 2020–21–22 Asian Tour season was heavily disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
