The Malaysian Masters was one of a series of tournaments that premiered in Asia in the mid-1980s and was hosted by Barry Hearn's company Matchroom Sport and sponsored by French cognac brand Camus .

The first edition of the tournament took place during the 1984/85 season in September 1984 at the Selangor Club in Kuala Lumpur . Three professional players and two amateurs took part, but - as with the second edition - there was no prize money to be won. The tournament was held as a simple round-robin tournament.
