Our History
Initial Stage
In March 2020, two therapists who had graduated in osteopathy — DR. CHIA WEI SING (PHD) and DR. MARVIN YIP KENG YEONG (PHD) had realized that there was a shortage of osteopathic practises and information in Malaysia.History
DR. CHIA WEI SING (PHD) and DR. MARVIN YIP KENG YEONG (PHD) had all the members of their BOD together in APRIL 2020 to discuss how to form up a suitable association to aid in promoting osteopathy.
The first meeting to further the formation of the Malaysian Osteopathic Medical Association (MOMA) through E-ROSES was conducted in May 2020. 15 members had voted for a total of 9 BODs. Key Officers for the fiscal year 2020–2023 have been named as President Dr. CHIA WEI SING (PHD), Secretary Dr. MARVIN YIP KENG YEONG (PHD), and Treasurer Dr. LISA BOO KIM HIOK (PHD HONORIS CAUSA).
Under Section 7 of the Akta Pertubuhan 1966, the MALAYSIA OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (MOMA) has been successfully registered as an association.
