| In 1977 to 1983, a group of senior private small animal practitioners of Indo-Pak graduates in the Klang Valley mooted the idea of an association catering for their needs in term of continuing education programme and to solve emerging problems.
On 5th August 1988, a group of small animal practitioners discussed the idea of formation of SAPAM. A working committee was formed to look into the possibility of forming an association for the small animal practitioners of Malaysia (SAPAM). On 11th November 1989, after 16 months following the initiation of the association, the first gathering of the small animal practitioners of Malaysia was successfully held at the Pan Pacific Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
On 6th August 2002, the name SAPAM was changed to Malaysian Small Animal Veterinary Association (MSAVA). |
