Social Workers Profession Bill: Here’s Why It’s Very Important
The Social Work Profession Bill or Rang Undang-undang Profesion Kerja Social is imperative for the betterment of people living in Malaysia, we have talked so much about it, made it clear that the bill needs to be passed by Malaysian lawmakers in Parliament.
But have you heard why it is so important for social workers themselves? Well, that is exactly why The Rakyat Post's journalist came and interviewed one of our life members Mangleswary Subramaniam to expose why the bill is important for social workers and their clients.

Professionalising Social Work Fact Sheet
After running the Heroes Among Us campaign for almost a year we also made a fact sheet in both Malay and English to further highlight the need to pass the bill in Parliament.
The fact sheets were made with the help of our partners in UNICEF Malaysia too.
In the fact sheet you can find information on the state of social work, social workers and their struggles in Malaysia, why the bill is needed and a lot more information on social work industry in Malaysia.
