The First Executive Committee
As a result of our Founder’s stature and network, he was able to assemble an impressive and highly committed group of like-minded individuals who felt equally passionately about championing the cause of leprosy patients and their communities when he founded the Malaysian Leprosy Relief Association in 1959.
​
It was the efforts of the First Executive Committee that sowed the seeds of MaLRA’s strong foundations, and crafted a reputational legacy that has endured for more than six decades.
