History

The Malaysian Society of Rheumatology was registered with the Registrar of Societies on 7th August 1989, following which the Protem Committee was dissolved and a new official executive committee was elected. MSR soon gained recognition and was warmly welcomed by regional Rheumatology bodies, namely, the Rheumatology Association of ASEAN (RAA) and the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR). MSR began to actively participate in the activities of these organisations.

During the early years, we were indebted to many of our rheumatology friends from around the world who came to Malaysia to help MSR carry out its teaching programmes. As our numbers were small, MSR actively ran rheumatology workshops throughout Malaysia for interested general practitioners and physicians, so that non-inflammatory rheumatic disorders could be treated by the generalists and inflammatory disorders be appropriately referred to rheumatologists.
