Group urges govt reconsider placing physiotherapy under TVET

The Private Physiotherapy Clinics Association of Malaysia has appealed to the government to reconsider placing physiotherapy courses within the national Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme.

Its president, Dr Balwant Singh Bains, said that while they appreciate the government’s initiative to address the shortage of physiotherapists in Malaysia, they also believe that this approach will not benefit the quality of the profession and could adversely affect the well-being of the people.
