From Malaysia to the London stage. 🇲🇾

Last weekend, our Honorary General Secretary, Zuhrah Nadakkavil Alassan, competed at The National Massage Championship (UK National Massage Championship) at Professional Beauty London, ExCeL London. She was up against massage therapists from around the world.

Competing at this level takes skill, courage and months of preparation, and she represented Malaysian massage with pride on the international stage.

Moments like this show what Malaysian therapists can do when given the platform. We hope Zuhrah's journey inspires more therapists back home to sharpen their craft and aim for the global stage.

Congratulations, Zuhrah. We're so proud of you!

IN LOVING MEMORY OF TUN DR HASMAH MOHD ALI

AMSPA extends our deepest condolences on the passing of the late Tun Dr. Hasmah Mohd Ali, who passed away peacefully this morning at the age of 100.

A pioneering woman in medicine, public health and community service, Tun Dr. Hasmah devoted much of her life to serving Malaysians and championing the wellbeing of women, families and communities.

Her grace, compassion and lifelong commitment to health and social wellbeing will remain an enduring part of Malaysia’s history.

Our heartfelt condolences to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, her children, grandchildren and the entire family during this time of profound loss.

May Allah SWT shower her soul with His mercy, forgive her shortcomings and place her among the righteous and those who are blessed.

Al-Fatihah. 🤍

ADVOCATING FOR MALAYSIA’S SPA INDUSTRY

On 14 September 2026, AMSPA participated in the Pre-National Spa Council (NSC) Meeting chaired by Dr Norwan, SUB Bahagian Pembangunan Industri (BPI), MOTAC.

The meeting provided an important platform for industry representatives to raise key issues and challenges faced by Malaysia’s spa industry, with discussions centred around matters that directly affect spa operators across the country.

Among the key concerns highlighted was the lack of centralised licensing and the varying requirements imposed by different local councils, which can create uncertainty and additional challenges for spa businesses operating in different areas.

AMSPA also highlighted the continued development and implementation of Urutan Malaysia, including the importance of supporting a recognised Malaysian wellness identity and ensuring the industry is well prepared to deliver it professionally and consistently.

Other industry matters were also raised as part of the ongoing dialogue between the spa industry and MOTAC.

AMSPA is grateful for the opportunity to bring these concerns to the table and to continue working together with MOTAC and industry stakeholders towards clearer processes, stronger standards and a more sustainable future for Malaysia’s spa and wellness industry.
