Time is ticking, and an important deadline is approaching for all massage therapists in Malaysia. The enforcement of Akta 775 is set to begin on 1 March 2025, and this legislation could significantly impact those practicing without the proper qualifications.
If you’re a massage therapist or aspire to join the industry, here’s what you need to know—and why it’s urgent to secure your SKM certification before it’s too late.
What is Akta 775?
Akta 775, also known as the Massage Therapy Act, is a regulatory framework introduced by the Malaysian government to uphold industry standards and ensure public safety. Under this act:
- Practicing massage therapists are required to hold SKM (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia) certification.
- Failure to comply with this requirement may result in penalties, fines, or even a ban on practicing.
The act emphasizes the importance of professional training to protect both therapists and clients, ensuring services are safe, effective, and ethical.
Why You Should Act Now
Waiting until the last minute to obtain your SKM certification can be risky for several reasons:
- High Demand for Training Courses: As the deadline approaches, the availability of training slots is expected to decrease due to increased demand.
- Time-Consuming Process: Completing SKM certification involves both theoretical and practical training, which takes time.
- Avoid Penalties: Practicing without SKM certification after 1 March 2025 could result in serious legal consequences.
By acting now, you’ll secure your place in training programs, complete the necessary requirements, and avoid unnecessary stress.
