About Us - History

PART II

The   Annual   General   Meetings   of   the   Society   were  held  in
conjunction with the seminars organized during the first quarter of
the   year. The   venues   of   these   meetings  are   the Institute for
Medical Research,  Kuala Lumpur, University of Malaya, University
Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Sains Malaysia,  Univeristi Putra
Malaysia   and   the  Veterinary  Research  Institute, Ipoh.   Another
regular   feature   are   the   talks   held  under the  auspices  of the
Society  by visitors and  local scientists  eminent  in  various fields
of Parasitology and Tropical Medicine.

With the  formation  of the  Central  Coordinating Board for Tropical
Medicine  (CCBTM) of the Southeast   Asian Ministers of Education
Council,   the   Society   became   associated   with    the   Regional
meetings   on  Parasitology  and  Tropical   Medicine   organized by
CCBTM   in   various   capitals   of   SEA   and   our    Society   jointly
sponsored the third such seminar held in Singapore in  June 1968
on  “ Filariasis and Immunology  of Parasitic Infections”.   With   the
growing interest in the applied aspects of parasitology in medicine
and veterinary  practice in the tropics, the name of our  Society was
changed   to   the “ Malaysian  Society  of Parasitology and Tropical
Medicine”.   With   enlarged    international   representation   at   our
meetings it became possible to attract  distinguished men like our
late  Prime  Minister, Tungku  Abdul  Rahman Putra Al-Haj and Tun
Abdul Razak, the  Honourable  Minister of Science and Technology,
Singapore  Dr Toh Chin Chye  and the various  Health  Ministers to
declare open our seminars.

The  notes  on  demonstrations  set up  at the laboratory  meetings
were   nitially published in the Transactions of the  Royal Society of
Tropical  Medicine  and Hygiene  and  later selectively published in
the Southeast Asian Journal of tropical Medicine and Public Health.
Subsequently,  abstracts were  published in the Medical Journal of
Malaya,  the  Singapore Medica l Journal, the  Malaysian  Veterinary
Journal, the  Thai  Medical  Journal  and  in  the  Proceedings of the
Third Seminar of CCBTM.
