MORE ABOUT MSR
President's Message
Assalamualaikum and Greetings to all,
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to serve as the President of MSR from 2018 to 2020. MSR was formed in 1989 and in its early years, there was only a handful of rheumatologists and as time passes, the numbers have grown rapidly and now we have more than 100 rheumatologists and fellows.
MSR has established a solid foundation that is still growing and I am sure it will continue to grow. Management in Rheumatic disease has advanced tremendously over the past decades. This can be seen especially on the rapidly changing therapeutic options in most of the diseases, and with the use of biologic therapy and Treat to Target approach which will provide maximum benefit for the patients.
However, despite this rapid advancement, there is still room for improvement in terms of patient service, education of the general public, and facilities.

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.
