History
The Malaysian Open was a women's professional tennis event held in 1992 and 1993. It was competed on indoor hard courts in Kuala Lumpur. The tournament was part of the Women's Tennis Association Tour, and was designated as a Tier IV event. Winners received $18,000. In both years it was held from April 19 to April 26. The event was discontinued from 1993 onwards.Initially, the organisers operated with a license directly from WTA. However, later on they cut a deal for a lease of WTA Palermo's license in late-2013.
In 2017, the Women’s Tennis Association deleted reference to Israeli player Julia Glushko's nationality and Israel's flag from Glushko's profile on their website ahead of her scheduled participation at the Malaysian Open, when event organizers requested all references to her being Israeli be removed from the WTA website in order for her to be allowed to take part in the event. The WTA subsequently reinstated them.
The last Malaysian Open was held in 2018, after which, WTA Palermo returned to the tour calendar in 2019.
