Federation Of Reproductive Health Associations, Malaysia
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT
On 20 January 2009, we received the official approval from
the Registrar of Societies to change the name of the Federation to “Federation of Reproductive Health Associations, Malaysia (FRHAM)”. It is our vision that the name
change will reflect our renewed commitment to the sexual
and reproductive health of every individual.
2009 has passed so fast that we had hardly noticed it
indicating that we have been so busy that we forgot time
passed so quickly that another year is already here. However,
I am so pleased to have this opportunity to say a few words
for the Federation of Reproductive Health Associations,
Malaysia (FRHAM)’s 2009 Annual Report.
poverty, cannot be achieved if reproductively health is not
addressed – poor reproductive health and limited access to
basic reproductive health services are obstacles to achieving
the MDGs. And this means we need to continue the
efforts of promoting and increasing investments in
reproductive health, including family planning.
First of all, congratulations to YBhg Dato’ Sri Shahrizat
Abdul Jalil and YBhg Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun on
their appointments as the Minister and Deputy Minister of
Women, Family and Community Development respectively,
as well as to Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin for her
appointment as the Deputy Minister of Health.
The world has come a long way over the past 30 years.
Although Malaysia has achieved commendable results in
achieving the MDGs, particularly in the reduction of infant,
child and maternal mortality; the challenge to improve access
to reproductive health services including family planning
remains. There is a large unmet need for family planning
and other reproductive health services, particularly among
the marginalized communities including the refugees, sex
workers, disadvantaged young people as well as the urban
and rural poor.
Having been involved with the Federation since the 1980s,
I am delighted to witness the tremendous change that the
Federation experienced over the last three decades. From
an organization working on the prevention of unwanted
pregnancies with family planning services and promoting
responsible parenthood, we have progressed to advocate,
promote and provide comprehensive sexual and reproductive
health and rights to women, men, young people, the
underserved and the marginalized – in other words, universal
access to reproductive health education, information, and
services.
FRHAM recognized the centrality of reproductive health
to the overall attainment of the Millennium Development
Goals (MGDs). The MDGs, particularly the eradication of
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
FRHAM understands that the refugees in Malaysia are
severely disadvantaged; they are living under difficult
conditions. FRHAM believes that providing reproductive
health access, especially family planning services, for them
to plan their pregnancies will enable them to have healthier
families. By taking up the challenge to improve the reproductive
health and rights of refugee communities with funding
provided by the Japan Trust Fund through International
Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), FRHAM hopes that
the ability for them to choose whether and when to have
children can ease the burden of these disadvantaged
families.
MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT
Various factors lead to risky sexual and reproductive health behaviour, especially among unmarried young people. They
include the lack of sexual and reproductive health information and education, as well as the lack of accessible sexual and
reproductive health services. Young people need comprehensive sexuality education to enable them to acquire the knowledge and skills to make the right choices that are appropriate to their needs. They are also the need for user-friendly sexual
and reproductive health services to avoid risky sexual practices that can result in unwanted pregnancies and sexually
transmitted infections, including HIV. FRHAM has been working tirelessly in these two areas and our reputation for working
with young people has been recognised with new projects funded by Chevron Malaysia Limited and the Dutch Government’s SALIN Plus fund through IPPF.
In our aim to be inclusive, we have broadened our reach to those who have been marginalised. Among the most marginalised, the sex workers have been found to be not accessing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, including
HIV prevention. At FRHAM, we strive to provide non-judgmental services at all times, including affirming the rights of sex
workers to accessing and receive these services. To us, improving the access of sexual and reproductive health services,
including HIV prevention, will ultimately contribute to the achievement of the 6th MDG of combating and reducing HIV/
AIDS incidents in Malaysia.
On 20 January 2009, we received the official approval from the Registrar of Societies to change the name of the Federation to “Federation of Reproductive Health Associations, Malaysia (FRHAM)”. It is our vision that the name change will
reflect our renewed commitment to the sexual and reproductive health of every individual. My deep appreciation goes to
our donors and partners, especially IPPF, United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA), United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees (UNHCR), the Malaysian AIDS Council (MAC), Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development
(MWFCD), the National Population and Family Development Board (NPFDB/LPPKN) as well as many other private and
non-governmental organizations who have continued to support and invest in our programmes.
Finally, let me conclude by expressing my heartfelt thanks to the National Council members, the various committee members, the entire team of staff at FRHAM, as well as volunteers and staff at all the State Member Associations, for your steadfast dedication and commitment which have contributed immensely to the performance and achievements throughout the
year of 2009. Under these challenging economic times, to continue to get external funding is excellent work. It shows the
appreciation of the quality work a donor can expect from FRHAM. With this, I encourage all of you to continue with the
excellent work in ensuring many more successes in the coming years.
Thank you.

ANNUAL REPORT 2009
MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN
2009 marked the year the Federation embarked on many new
projects, many of these stemming from our involvement in the
underserved and marginalized communities. It has been our belief that sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and rights
of men and women of all ages and walks of life must be met as the
country progressed to a developed status.
Effective from 28 January 2009, the Federation of Family
Planning Associations, Malaysia (FFPAM) has changed its
name to the Federation of Reproductive Health Associations,
Malaysia (FRHAM). This change of name does not mean
that we are turning our back on family planning programmes.
Instead, we are embracing a broader reproductive health
perspective, one that not only emphasizes satisfying the
unmet needs for family planning, but also includes other
dimensions such as gender equity, reproductive rights,
adolescent sexual and reproductive health, safe abortion,
as well as concerns about HIV/AIDS.
2009 marked the year the Federation embarked on
many new projects, many of these stemming from our
involvement in the underserved and marginalized
communities. It has been our belief that sexual and
reproductive health (SRH) services and rights of men and
women of all ages and walks of life must be met as the
country progressed to a developed status. It was with this
belief that we re-orientated our services and programmes
away from focusing on those easiest to reach towards
those who are marginalized and excluded and those who
most need and want these services. However, taking on
the project of “Increasing Access to SRH services and Rights
for the Refugee Communities in the Klang Valley” funded
by the Japan Trust Fund through IPPF proved that
reaching out to this underserved population of refugees
can be a challenging venture. It was indeed a learning
experience in itself: we have to move out of our “comfort
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
zone” of providing services to the local communities, to
serving those with vastly different cultures who speak
languages foreign to us. Coupled with teething problems
at the beginning of the project, frustration was a regular
occurrence. At those times, it was the dedication and
passion of the staff that kept the project going; and I must
put on record FRHAM’s appreciation to them, as it was
through their perseverance that we managed to bridge
the language gap, to gain trust and support from the
refugee communities in order to initiate communications
and co-operation. Our success has provided the much
needed boost to FRHAM to continue to reach out to the
underserved refugees to fulfill their unmet SRH needs.
FRHAM has always championed the right of young people
to SRH knowledge and services. We recognize that the
lack of provision of education, information and services to
young people is partly to be blamed for the social
problems affecting our young people. This prompted
FRHAM to request funding through IPPF to strengthen
youth friendly services and information in all State MAs.
Through the Dutch Government’s SALIN Plus funds,
FRHAM managed to secure grants to set up youth friendly
centres which will provide youth friendly SRH services by
recruiting young people to reach out to young people, to
provide them with SRH information. Because this
project calls for youths to be given decision making
responsibilities, it is also our hope that they can also learn
to be future leaders of the State MAs.
MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN
The UNFPA project “Reaching Out to Disadvantaged Youths to Address Their SRH Needs and HIV Prevention through Peer
Education” is already in the third year of its implementation. This year, we have managed to advocate for national and local
support of this project and expanded the programme to another three juvenile homes/centres in Pahang, Perak and
Selangor. We very much look forward to expand the programme to East Malaysia in 2010 and hope to be able show a
bigger impact of the project.
Addressing the public health needs of persons in the sex work sector, advancing the rights of this population who faces
stigma, expanding equal sexual and reproductive health services to them are the core factors that propelled FRHAM to take
on the UNFPA-funded project “HIV and Sex Work” in 2008. It is our hope that the situation analysis of sex work in the country
will provide us with some pertinent information that can contribute to the Plan of Action on HIV, scheduled to be revised in
2010. Meanwhile, capacity building programmes were provided and FRHAM, with the support of State MAs and other nongovernmental organizations, continued with the ardent tasks of reaching out to the sex workers to meet their SRH needs.
In recognition of ICPD at 15, FRHAM, in collaboration with Reproductive Rights Advocacy Alliance Malaysia (RRAAM)
conducted a high level government agencies and non-government organizations policy dialogue on “Increasing Access to
Reproductive Rights to Contraceptive Information and Services, SRHR Education for Youths and Legal Abortion”. In
addition, with funding from UNFPA, FRHAM prepared the ICPD+15 – ICPD Third Country Report of Malaysia: NGO
Perspective. This comprehensive report is being finalized and is due for publication in 2010.
In ensuring that the rights to SRH information and services are made available to all especially the marginalised groups in
a non-discriminatory and judgmental environment, FRHAM secured funding from the Ford Foundation through IPPF to
sensitize our service providers to support this initiative. Under this project, the principles in the IPPF Declaration of Sexual
Rights form the basis of non-discrimination in all our programmes and services.
This year’s calendar was also marked with many major international conferences. Among them were the 9th International
Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific held in Bali, Indonesia, UNESCAP Asia Pacific High-level Forum on ICPD at 15:
Accelerating Progress Towards ICPD and the Millennium Development Goals, in Bangkok, Thailand, the 5th Asia Pacific
Conference on Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights, in Beijing, China, and last but not least, the International
Association for Adolescent Health (IAAH) 9th World Congress on Adolescent Health, Kuala Lumpur. I am truly encouraged that
volunteers and staff of FRHAM and the State MAs have made the effort to be part of all these important events, not merely as
participants but as presenters as well as the organizing committee members. I look forward to FRHAM involving in many more
international SRHR events and playing a pivotal role not only in SRHR in Malaysia, but within the Asia Pacific region as well.
On the IPPF front, this year saw a change of leadership in IPPF ESEAOR with the retirement of the Regional Director. Please
join with me in thanking the outgoing Regional Director Datuk Dr. Raj Karim for her dedicated commitment to IPPF ESEAOR
over the years. In the absence of a Regional Director, we continue to pledge our full support to Mrs. Sun Paranjothy as the
Acting Regional Director, who will be leading the regional efforts in addressing the challenges of delivering the promises
of the 5As with renewed energy.
At the Federation, we also say goodbye to outgoing Executive Director Ms. Mary Pang who during her service with FRHAM,
brought a breath of fresh air for the Federation. I look forward to welcoming a new Executive Director who can lead the
Federation to realize our vision of providing universal access to sexual and reproductive health throughout Malaysia.
Thank you.
Dr. Kamaruzaman Ali

ANNUAL REPORT 2009
HONORARY SECRETARY-GENERAL’S REPORT
Throughout the year, we are so privileged to have received
so much support from our new and existing funding agencies and partner organizations. They have put so much
trust in FRHAM as a responsible, accountable and credible
organization in promoting the sexual and reproductive
health and rights of all communities in the country.
As the United Nations commemorated the 15th anniversary
of the 1994 landmark International Conference on
Population and Development (ICPD) this year, we continue
to face economic challenges related to sexual and
reproductive health and rights. Despite the progress
Malaysia has made since the ICPD, implementation of SRH
programmes, especially by the non-governmental agencies,
has been thwarted by the financial crisis and a decline in
development aide by international donors. Nevertheless,
FRHAM has been resolute and has taken concerted efforts
to counter these challenges in 2009; and it gives me great
pleasure and honour to report our progress and highlight
the various initiatives taken to realize our objectives.
Programme Highlights – Access
In 2009, a wide range of sexual and reproductive health
(SRH) services were provided extensively nationwide
through a total of 391 service outlets, comprising 38 static
clinic and 353 resupply points. These clinical programmes
were further supplemented by 236 Community Clinic
Extension Family Planning (COMCEFP) agents, of which
218 were medical practitioners and 18 community-based
distributors.
Core family planning programmes served a total of 74,362
family planning acceptors of whom 13,763 were new
acceptors and 60,599 continuing acceptors. The choices
of contraceptive methods of the family planning clients
have remained fairly constant over the years: 73% chose
oral pills, 10% condoms, 9% injectables, 7% intra-uterine
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
contraceptive device, 1% implants and 1% spermicides. It
is worth noting that this year, we introduced a new
contraceptive method – contraceptive patch. Despite the
relatively high cost, it nonetheless received fairly good
response in Sarawak.
The SRH programmes provided services to a total of 18,129
clients in 2009 in addition to 1,846 young people below
25 years old, 3,634 menopause clients and another 3,695
male clients. It was disheartening to note that despite our
vast outreach, we are still faced with the reality of declining
number of acceptors every year. This served as a stark
reminder to FRHAM and all the State MAs that it is time to
truly move forward and concentrating our efforts to focus
on the responce to the unmet need of family planning
and SRH services in the underserved and marginalized
communities such as the disadvantaged youths, people
living with HIV, the refugees, the sex workers, the high risk
group of partners and spouses of injecting drug users, etc.
Meanwhile, the project grant from the Ministry of Women,
Family and Community Development for the “Nur
Sejahtera: Sihat dan Segak” National Pap Smear Screening
programme provided a total of 27,280 Pap smears.
Moving on to restricted grant projects, FRHAM started a
two year project funded by the Japan Trust Fund through
IPPF “Increasing Access to SRH Services and Rights for the
Refugee Communities in the Klang Valley” in May 2009.
This project undertaken by Selangor and WP FPA aimed
to improve the SRH of refugees living in the Klang Valley
through increase utilization of SRH services, information
and education. The project started with meetings with
the refugee community leaders and stakeholders.
Subsequently, outreach and healthcare workers from the
refugee communities were engaged, sensitized and
provided with SRH trainings to prepare them to reach out
and serve the communities. At the same time, information,
education and communication (IEC) materials were
being translated and printed for distribution. To chart their
progress, monthly meetings were carried out with outreach
and healthcare workers. With such intense efforts, the
project has reached out to 3,040 refugees and served 832
acceptors since August 2009. It is envisaged that if such
good responses continued throughout the following year,
FRHAM may have to seek funding to replicate the project
in other states with high refugee presence.
Programme Highlights – Adolescents
In 2009, the UNFPA-funded project “Reaching Out to
Disadvantaged Youths to Address Their SRH Needs and
HIV Prevention through Peer Education Programme” was
implemented at Sekolah Tunas Bakti (STB) Jerantut, Pahang,
Taman Seri Puteri (TSP) Batu Gajah, Perak and Raudhatus
Sakinah Selangor Shelter Home. Courtesy visits and
sensitization for caretakers were conducted. This year,
trainings at project sites were coupled with baseline
and end-line assessments to measure SRH and HIV/AIDS
knowledge levels and to provide additional inputs on
programme planning. In addition, follow-up activities
were conducted at STB Marang, Terengganu and STB
Jerantut, Pahang to monitor the peer educators who have
been tasked to meet and share their knowledge with their
friends. Re-trainings for a new batch of Peer Educators
were also done in 2008 project sites of STB Taiping, Perak,
STB Sg. Lereh, Melaka and TSB Cheras, KL. Lastly, using the
Ministry of Health (MOH) grant, four Training of Trainers
sessions were conducted for youth volunteers in Melaka,
Terengganu, Perak and Sarawak and these volunteers
would be mobilized to train residents at the homes.
A new project under Adolescents “Strengthening Youth
Friendly Services and Information in All State MAs”, funded by Dutch Government’s SALIN Plus funds through IPPF,
aims to provide SRH services to young people as well as to
increase their participation and leadership. All State MAs
undertook the project, eight State MAs (Melaka, Kelantan,
NS, Perak, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak and Selangor and WP)
had started the project in 2009 while the remaining State
MAs will start in 2010. Advisory Committee Meeting was
conducted in August and attended by various stakeholders from both government and non-governmental agencies. Task forces were formed at both FRHAM and State
MA levels to monitor the project closely, and to advocate
young people’s SRH needs and services to the local stakeholders. IEC materials were being distributed in stages
to the State MAs. A Sensitization and Capacity Building
Workshop was conducted by FRHAM for all State MAs
to orientate and sensitize the staff and service providers. Youth Coordinators were recruited at State MAs to
lead and monitor the project while peer educators who
were trained under UNFPA’s project also volunteered in
this project. Since this is only a two-year project, activities
were being carried out intensively to ensure that all deadlines will be met within the project period.
Programme Highlights – Advocacy
In recognition of ICPD at 15, a FRHAM-Reproductive Rights
Advocacy Alliance Malaysia (RRAAM) high level policy dialogue on “Increasing Access to the Reproductive Rights
to Contraceptive Information and Services, SRHR Education for Youths and Legal Abortion” was carried out in May.
Participants from government and non-governmental
agencies were invited to provide inputs on what needs
to be done by both sides in order to implement Malaysia’s
ICPD agreements on contraceptive information and services, sexual and reproductive health rights for young people and legal abortion services. Meanwhile, the UNFPAfunded official report of FRHAM’s “ICPD+15 – ICPD Third
Country Report of Malaysia: NGO Perspective” has been
finalised and is due for publication in the following year.
For third year in a roll, FRHAM partnered with Bayer Co.
(M) Sdn. Bhd. to promote World Contraception Day on
26 September 2009. This year, the campaign centred on
young people’s sexuality and contraception practices to
increase awareness on contraception.
Programme Highlights – AIDS/HIV
A total of RM410,000 MOH grant was received by FRHAM
and State MAs in 2009 to implement 13 long term projects
and 17 short term projects. Additional grant amounting
to RM131,200 was provided by Malaysian AIDS Council
(MAC) to complement the MOH grant. The long term
projects focused on outreach activities to sex workers and
transsexuals while the short term projects were on health
campaigns targeting women and young people.
MAC also provided another RM130,000 for Kedah FPA’s
Hospital Peer Support Programme and Sarawak FPA’s
“Breaking the Silence” project. In addition, the M.A.C. Cosmetics Fund amounting to RM55,020 was provided for
Penang FHDA’s Maycare Center.
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
Another restricted fund project under AIDS/HIV is the UNFPA-funded “HIV and Sex Work” project. In 2009, the Situational
Analysis on Sex Work in Malaysia (Directory of Research, Research Study and Framework for Plan of Action) has been completed. Orientation, training and capacity building programmes have been conducted for service providers and outreach
workers at project sites in Selangor, WP, Penang and Sarawak. On service provision, 3 State MAs (Penang, Sarawak and
Selangor and WP) have provided SRH information and services, particularly HIV prevention, to a total of 555 sex workers.
Programme Highlights – Abortion
FRHAM collaborated with RRAAM to conduct two seminars on “Reproductive Health, Reproductive Rights and Abortion”
in Pahang and Sabah to advocate for women’s rights to access to legal, safe and affordable contraceptive and abortion
services. Both seminars received over-whelming responses, especially from the medical professionals.
At FRHAM, the Medical Committee and National Council have approved the “Guidelines on Pre- and Post-Abortion Counselling”. These guidelines have been circulated to all the State MAs to provide critical support to the clinics under the abortion-related services.
Programme Highlights – Support Strategies
The IPPF/Ford Foundation project “Sexual Rights for All” started in the month of May 2009. This one-year project is implemented by Reproductive Health Association of Kelantan (ReHAK). It aims to promote sexual and reproductive health
and rights within a framework of non-discrimination in Malaysia. To achieve this goal, the project focused on building up
the capacity of FRHAM and its State MAs to implement and integrate the “Sexual Rights: An IPPF Declaration” into existing
programmes and services. In 2009, the IPPF Declaration was being translated into Bahasa Malaysia, and national and state
level capacity building workshops were conducted.
This year, the FRHAM SRH Training Centre has made some major inroads in resource mobilization. At the end of the year, the
Training Centre was approached by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to offer training courses for
the refugee community health workers. A total of RM51,930 was granted by UNHCR to conduct SRH trainings for refugee
groups. Another highlight was the Chevron Malaysia Limited funded project: RHAM Workshops in Schools. Under their
“Energy for Learning” initiative, Chevron Malaysia sponsored a total of RM151,000 for FRHAM to conduct RHAM Workshops
in secondary schools in Kelantan, Melaka, Perak and Selangor/Wilayah Persekutuan, SRH and HIV awareness campaign in
Terengganu, as well as two sensitization workshops in Selangor/Wilayah Persekutuan and Kelantan.
Throughout the year, we are so privileged to have received so much support from our new and existing funding agencies
and partner organizations. They have put so much trust in FRHAM as a responsible, accountable and credible organization
in promoting the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all communities in the country. We are equally appreciative
of our staff, as in so many occasions, when the projects hit a snag, we had to rely on their dedicated support and unending
passion to move the projects forward the best way they could. Before I conclude, I would like to once again record our
deepest appreciation to all our volunteers, staff and partners for their invaluable support and assistance.
Thank you.

ACCESS
Provision of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services
to Marginalised Groups
The healthcare needs of refugee communities are often
neglected due to the challenges (economics, language,
distance and legality of their presence in the country)
they face in accessing health services. As such, FRHAM
spearheaded a 2-year project funded by the Japan Trust Fund
(JTF) through IPPF aimed at improving the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and rights of refugee communities by providing accessibility to SRH services including family planning.
A doctor attending to a refugee client in a S&WP FPA
clinic in Selangor.
A volunteer doctor caring for a refugee client assisted
by a healthcare worker and a nurse.
The project started by engaging refugee community leaders
to lay the groundwork for communication and cooperation.
Healthcare workers and outreach workers were then recruited from the community to facilitate clinical services and to
conduct outreach activities. Subsequently, orientation programmes, capacity building sessions and sensitization workshops were provided to the outreach and healthcare workers,
as well as to service providers from the Selangor and Wilayah
Persekutuan FPA (S&WP FPA). At the same time, information,
education and communication (IEC) materials were translated
and printed for distribution. To fulfil the unmet needs of the
community, S&WP FPA clinics started to provide SRH services
to refugees in June 2009; and as of the end of 2009, some 832
refugees have accessed these services.
There have been many challenges throughout the implementation of the project, the greatest being the security of
the outreach and healthcare workers. Despite support from
the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Women, Family
and Community Development, local enforcement authorities
continued to harass and/or arrest the outreach and healthcare
workers. The other major challenge is the language barrier:
most of the refugees could not understand the local language
and/or English when accessing services. In this respect, outreach and healthcare workers played a pivotal role in bridging the language gap, ensuring better understanding of the
needs and concerns of the communities.
Despite the challenges, the increasing number of refugee accessing services in the clinics has shown that the project has
gained trust and support from the community. This has indeed provided the much needed boost to FRHAM and S&WP
FPA to continue to reach out to more refugees in order to fulfil
their unmet SRH needs.

One population that is often overlooked politically, socially, economically and culturally, even though they
have very specific SRH needs, are the transgender
people. To FRHAM, transgenders are human beings and deserved to be treated with respect and dignity; thus, we continue to take affirmative action to promote the SRH and rights
of transgender people. In Malaysia, transgendered persons,
especially those involved in sex work, often engage in risky
behaviour and do not usually have the means or knowledge
to reduce their risks to sexually transmitted infections (STIs),
including HIV. Melaka FPA recognized the need to provide
interventions for this vulnerable population and with funding
from MOH through Malaysian AIDS Council, has embarked on
a project to promote safer sex behaviours among this community. Among the major interventions are outreaching to
transgender people, providing SRH information and education, promoting and distributing condoms and IEC materials and most importantly, providing access to SRH services,
including appropriate management of STIs and confidential
HIV counselling services.

Improving Access of Sexual and Reproductive Health
to All Communities
FRHAM is committed to prioritizing
access to all community including the
most underserved groups who for
reasons such as poverty, geographically
inaccessibility, marital status, culture,
age, gender or sexuality are not
adequately served by established SRH
service delivery programmes. Towards
this end, FRHAM and the State MAs
continue to educate women and men
about their bodies, reproduction, and the
health and economic benefits of contraception via a variety of approaches.

ADOLESCENTS/YOUNG PEOPLE
Empowering Youths through Sexual and Reproductive
Health Knowledge
FRHAM believes that empowering young people by providing them with sexual and reproductive health
(SRH) information, education and services, is critical to achieving their individual development, safeguarding their own health and well being, and enabling them not only to become the decision makers of
the future, but to be active citizens today. This year, FRHAM and the State MAs conducted a total of 114 adolescent SRH-related campaigns, exhibitions, camps, seminars, forums, workshops, talks for young people throughout the
country. Using the peer education approach in most of these activities – trained peer trainers and educators are mobilised to reach out to their peers in ways that adults cannot, in an effort to ensure that young people really received
the SRH information and education that enable them to make safe and responsible decisions.

Strengthening Youth Friendly Services and Information
in All State Member Associations
In addition to SRH information and education, young
people are also in need of youth-friendly SRH services.
Despite a wide network of government and private hospitals
and clinics, young people’s access to SRH services, including
contraception, is still limited. FRHAM, recognising that young
people need a safe environment with youth-friendly healthcare services, has prioritised this particular need through a
project funded by the Dutch Government’s SALIN Plus funds
(through IPPF): “Strengthening Youth Friendly Services and
Information in All State Member Associations by Setting Up
Youth Friendly Centres”.
The project not only aims to enhance the quality of SRH information and services to young people, it also emphasises
youth involvement and participation, where young people
are involved in every stage of the project, from design of the
youth friendly project, to outreach activities targeting marginalised young people. With so much youth involvement, it
is envisaged that the project would contribute to increasing
young people’s participation and leadership at the State MAs.
All State MAs undertook the project with eight State MAs
(Melaka, Kelantan, NS, Perak, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak and Selangor and WP) starting the project implementation in 2009
while the remaining State MAs will start with recruitment of
young people as volunteers/peer educators. With a very tight
deadline of two years to complete the implementation, both
FRHAM and all the State MAs are extremely hard pressed for
time to recruit young people to set up the centres, provide all
the necessary training and education on SRH, carry out outreach activities to reach out to young people as well as start
providing services to young people in need. It is our hope that
through this project we can meet the rights of young people
to SRH services, thus fulfilling part of our ICPD commitment.

Reaching Out to Disadvantaged Youths to Address Sexual
and Reproductive Health Needs and HIV Prevention
through Peer Education
This 5-year UNFPA-funded project “Reaching Out to Disadvantaged Youths to Address Sexual and Reproductive Health Needs and HIV Prevention through Peer Education” strives to empower young people
who are confined to institutions or juvenile rehabilitation schools/homes with SRH information through
peer education to ensure that they adopt healthy lifestyles and responsible behaviours. This project utilises the “tried and tested” peer education approach which involves trained peer trainers providing SRH information
and education to peer educators in the homes, who are then tasked to share their knowledge on SRH and HIV/AIDS
with their fellow residents. Through this approach, peers act as a trusted and credible source of information since
they share similar experiences and social norms and are therefore better placed to provide relevant, meaningful,
explicit and honest information.
In its third year, this UNFPA-funded project made its mark at
Sekolah Tunas Bakti (STB) Jerantut, Pahang, Taman Seri Putri
(TSB) Batu Gajah, Perak and Raudhatus Sakinah Selangor Shelter Home. Learning from the previous year’s experience, this
year, courtesy visits and sensitization for caretakers were conducted in all the above locations before the actual activities
and trainings were carried out. Baseline and end-line assessments were conducted before and after trainings to measure
SRH and HIV/AIDS knowledge levels to ensure effectiveness
of programmes as well as to provide additional inputs on programme planning.
In addition to the 3 new sites, follow-up activities were also
being conducted at STB Marang, Terengganu and STB Jerantut, Pahang to monitor the peer educators in the homes,
who have been tasked to meet and shared their knowledge
on SRH and HIV/AIDS with their fellow residents. As for the
2008 project sites of STB Sg. Lereh, Melaka and STB Taiping,
Perak, since most of the peer educators have been released,
trainings were provided to a new batch of peer educators by
Melaka FPA and Perak FHA respectively.
Counsellors, caretakers and staff from the
Welfare Department were trained on SRH
and sensitized on the SRH needs of the residents in juvenile schools/homes.
In addition, a total of 4 training of trainers (TOT) sessions were
conducted to 126 youth volunteers from universities and colleges in Melaka, Perak, Sarawak and Terengganu with funding
from Ministry of Health through Malaysian AIDS Council. Using the training manual developed specifically for this project,
“Perjalanan Kehidupan” (“Life’s Journey”), these young volunteers or peer trainers have been mobilized to the homes to
train residents there.

ADVOCACY
Advocating Increasing Access to Reproductive Health
and Rights at ICPD+15 Policy Dialogue and Country Report
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the
International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), a seminal gathering of health, women’s rights, and development leaders held in Cairo
in 1994. The ICPD 20-year Program of Action (PoA), endorsed by the Malaysian Government, recognized that
women’s empowerment, gender equality, and sexual
and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are critical
to achieving sustainable development, reducing poverty and meeting the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs). To assess Malaysia’s progress in implementing
the ICPD PoA, FRHAM, in collaboration with Reproductive Rights Advocacy Alliance Malaysia (RRAAM) held a
high level policy dialogue on “Increasing Access to the
Reproductive Rights to Contraceptive Information and
Services, SRHR Education for Youths and Legal Abortion”
in May. A total of 46 participants from government and
non-governmental agencies were invited to attend this
dialogue to provide inputs and to agree on specific actions that need to be taken by both government and
non-governmental agencies in order to realise Malaysia’s
ICPD PoA on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
for all women irrespective of marital status and age. At
the end of the dialogue, all participants concluded that
the dialogue provided clear directions for actions as both
government and non-governmental stakeholders were
able to critically analyse the pertinent issues identified.
In order to appraise the country-level implementation of
the ICPD PoA as well as to focus on the MDG of improving maternal health, FRHAM has obtained funding from
UNFPA to produce a report “ICPD+15 – ICPD Third Country Report of Malaysia: NGO Perspective”. The 112-page
report has since been finalised and is due for publication
in the following year.

Advocating Comprehensive Sexuality Education for
Young People through the Media
In August, Dr. Kamaruzaman Ali, Chairman of FRHAM was
invited by a private radio station, BFM89.9, to address
young people’s reproductive health in the segment “The
Bigger Picture”. The radio interview touched on young peo-
ple’s sexual and reproductive health needs and successfully
highlighted the pressing issues of (the lack of ) comprehensive
sexuality education in schools, as well as presenting to the
public FRHAM’s roles in promoting and responding to sexuality education. The interview has attracted widespread attention and received very positive feedback from the public. Dr.
Kamaruzaman has received further invitation from the radio
station to do more radio interviews in the following year.

Advocating Contraception and Reproductive Health
through World Contraception Day
For third year in a roll, FRHAM partnered with Bayer Co.
(M) Sdn. Bhd. to promote World Contraception Day on
26 September 2009. This year, the campaign centred on
young people’s sexuality and contraception practices to increase awareness on contraception. Acting on the findings
of the first ever multinational survey exploring young people’s
attitude towards sex and contraception “Talking Sex and Contraception: What Young People Around the World Told Us”, this
year’s theme “Your Life, Your Voice: Talk Contraception” called
on Malaysian youths to be responsible for their own bodies
and lives by talking to people they trust to acquire accurate
and correct information in order to make informed choices in
areas related to their reproductive health.

AIDS/HIV
Ensuring Access to Prevention, Care, Support and
Services
For HIV/AIDS, the major gains in the past 30 years
have been in both knowledge and care: from the
identification of the virus to development of diagnosis and treatment. Despite these gains, prejudice, discrimination and stigmatization of people
living with or affected by HIV/AIDS continue to
hamper efforts to tackle the epidemic. It is undeniable that the extent of stigma and discrimination against
those infected and affected by HIV has been constantly
underestimated – they continue to experience ostracism, eviction, lost or restricted access to employment
and education. It is therefore imperative that part of the
funding for HIV/AIDS be used to lend support to those
infected and affected by HIV, ensuring that they receive
the information, care and services they need. With the
support of the Ministry of Health (MOH)/Malaysian AIDS
Council (MAC), some of the major deliverables were
“Leading the Way towards Positive Living” – workshops for
housewives infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, “Breaking
the Silence” to support families infected and affected by
HIV/AIDS, “Hospital Peer Support Programme” to provide
emotional and practical support to those newly diagnosed to be HIV-positive, and “Maycare Drop-In Centre”
which provides counselling, skill workshops, job referrals,
food and resting place for people living with HIV, their
families and caregivers.

AIDS/HIV
Linking HIV/AIDS with Sexual and Reproductive Health
of Vulnerable Populations
In general, sex workers are more vulnerable to contracting HIV because of their livelihood. The stigma and
discrimination experienced by them impedes their access to appropriate HIV prevention, treatment and care services.
The difficulty with this vulnerable group is that their risky sexual behaviour is usually not accepted within social norms.
This poses further hurdle to them accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including HIV prevention.
In addition, laws against sex work also hamper effort to reach this group. Thus, despite the acknowledgement that sex
workers remain one of the keys to addressing the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic, tackling the above problems is hampered by their exclusion from access to prevention, treatment and care. However, HIV/AIDS funding bodies can help to
improve the situation of this population, not only by providing funds directly, but also ensuring that agencies working
in HIV/AIDS act to improve the health of this population.
It is undeniable that the correct and consistent use of condoms remains one of the most important responses to the HIV/
AIDS epidemic. Therefore, condom demonstration constituted an important part of outreach work on HIV prevention.
UNFPA and FRHAM have been at the forefront linking core
SRH services and HIV services by increasing and improving access and utilization of SRH information and services,
particularly HIV prevention to those involved in sex work.
The 5-year UNFPA project “HIV and Sex Work” started in
2008 with the expected outcome of increasing access
and utilization of SRH, including HIV, information and services among the targeted group of sex workers. In order
to accomplish this, the background work on the Situation
Analysis on Sex Work in Malaysia, including Directory of
Research, Research Study and Framework for Plan of Action, were completed in 2009. Armed with the required
background knowledge, the State MAs began to reach out
to the sex workers at their workplace to provide SRH and
HIV prevention, information and services and to pave the
way for them to access SRH services. As of the end of 2009,
through the concerted efforts of Penang, Sarawak and Selangor and WP State MAs, SRH and HIV services were made
available to a total of 555 sex workers.
In 2009, MAC also provided funding to FRHAM and
the State MAs of Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Penang and
Sarawak to implement the “Safer Sex Education” outreach
programme to reach out to sex workers to create awareness of HIV infection, unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Complemented by the
UNFPA project, sex workers were also offered on-site SRH
services as well as access to other SRH services in the State
MA clinics. It is undeniable that the HIV/AIDS epidemic
remains a crisis that still requires many other responses
in order to halt and reverse the trend; and FRHAM, working on one of these responses of increasing access and
utilization of SRH services (including HIV prevention) by
those involved in sex work, ultimately hopes to be able to
contribute to this cause.

ABORTION
Advocating for Women’s Right to Contraception and
Abortion
Despite the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo 15 years ago, women’s access to contraceptive and abortion services is not widely recognised as a woman’s reproductive right
in Malaysia. As such, FRHAM collaborated with Reproductive Rights Advocacy Alliance Malaysia (RRAAM) to conduct
two seminars on “Reproductive Health, Reproductive Rights and Abortion” in Pahang and Sabah to advocate for women’s rights to access to legal, safe and affordable contraceptive and abortion services. With support from the Ministry
of Health (MOH) and Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), various topics related to human rights, reproductive health
and rights, safe abortion and legality of abortion were presented and discussed in these seminars. Over-whelming responses, especially from the medical professionals to both seminars indicated that there is still a huge need for provision
of correct information to both the public and private sector service providers in order to dispel the prevalent misconception on Malaysia’s abortion laws. Lastly, the seminars’ affirmation of women’s rights to have abortions has recognised
that all women should be able to exercise control, freedom and choice in their sexual and reproductive health as a core
human rights practice.
Strengthening Provision of Abortion-Related Services
in the State MAs
Although the State MA clinics do not provide abortion services, FRHAM and the State MAs have incorporated abortion-related services as an integral part of SRH services. In 2009, in an effort to strengthen the provision of abortion-related services in all the State MA clinics, FRHAM’s Medical Committee have finalised the “Guidelines
on Pre- and Post-Abortion Counselling”. Following National Council’s approval, these guidelines have been circulated
to all the State MAs. These long awaited guidelines are expected to provide the much needed support to the service
providers while carrying out abortion-related services.

SUPPORT STRATEGIES
Capacity Building
In ensuring that the right to SRH information and
services are made available to all especially to the
marginalised in a non-discriminatory environment,
FRHAM, through Reproductive Health Association
of Kelantan, embarked on the IPPF/Ford Foundation
“Sexual Rights for All” project. In order to increase the
capacity of FRHAM and State MA service providers (staff
and volunteers), the IPPF’s Declaration of Sexual Rights was
translated into Bahasa Malaysia. The principles of the Declaration were integrated into the existing programmes. Finally, national and state level capacity building workshops
were carried out to provide information and skills needed
to promote and implement the provision of non-discriminatory services.
Some 40 participants hard at work at the national level IPPF/
Ford Foundation “Sexual Rights for All” capacity building
workshop.
In August, 8 FRHAM and State MA staff and volunteers attended the 9th International Congress on AIDS
in Asia and The Pacific (9th ICAAP) in Bali, Indonesia. The fact that almost all the participants to this congress received full or partial scholarships from the congress organizers provided solid evidence that the staff and volunteers have
progressed beyond relying on sponsorships from our funders and donors, but have instead used their experience and
knowledge to obtain financial support in their effort to acquire new knowledge from international forums.
Along with more than one thousand participants
from around the world, 11 FRHAM and State MA staff
and volunteers attended the 5th Asia Pacific Conference on Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights
(5th APCRSHR) held in Beijing, China. Prior to the conference, the Youth Forum called for extending the reach of
reproductive health programmes to include young people,
regardless of their marital status. The conference reviewed
the progress made by countries in the Asia Pacific region in
implementing the ICPD PoA. Apart from offering opportunities for participating countries to share and discuss SRH
experiences and strategies for the attainment of MDGs, the
conference also reaffirmed governments’ commitments
and strategies for achieving universal access to reproductive health by 2015 in the Asia Pacific region.

Under the IPPF/SALIN Plus project, FRHAM sponsored 16 staff and youth volunteers to participate
in the 9th International Association for Adolescent
Health (IAAH) World Congress held in Kuala Lumpur.
The IAAH Congress was an intersectoral collaboration between the Malaysian Pediatric Association, Malaysian Association for Adolescent Health, Ministry of Health, National
Population and Family Development Board (NPFDB/LPPKN) and FRHAM. This congress brought all the stakeholders of adolescent health and medicine under one forum,
and has projected adolescent health to the forefront to
create awareness about their issues. All the youth participants to the congress had the opportunity to participate
in the public forum, the youth debate and youth commentaries after each plenary session.
Ms Wong Li Leng, FRHAM/IPPF’s Regional Youth Representative spoke on Youth Response to Sexual and Reproductive
Health and Rights at the 9th IAAH Congress.
Resource Mobilization
The grim state of the global economy in 2009 has further threatened the funding to SRH programmes.
Therefore, efforts to strengthen resource mobilization and self-sustainability have become even more imperative at these times. In this regard, the FRHAM SRH Training Centre has made some major strides this year.
Apart from the Reproductive Health of Adolescents Module (RHAM) workshops and collaboration with Bayer Co. (M)
Sdn. Bhd. on Public Awareness Creation and Education Programme on Contraception/Family Planning and Reproductive Health, the SRH Training Centre obtained funding from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Malaysia to offer training courses for the refugee community health workers. A total of RM51,930 was provided
by UNHCR to conduct 3 comprehensive SRH training courses.

Statement By Council Members
Of Federation Of Reproductive Health Associations,
Malaysia
We, Dr. Kamaruzaman Ali and James Harold Brodie, being two of the Council
Members of the Federation of Reproductive Health Associations, Malaysia
(formerly known as Federation of Family Planning Associations, Malaysia)
(“the Federation”), do hereby state that, in the opinion of the Council, the
financial statements set out on pages 35 to 52, are drawn up in accordance
with International Planned Parenthood Federation accounting policies and
the provisions of the Societies Act, 1966 so as to give a true and fair view
of the state of affairs of the Federation as at 31 December 2009 and of its
results and cash flows for the financial year ended on that date.
On behalf of the Council

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS
OF FEDERATION OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ASSOCIATIONS, MALAYSIA
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the financial statements of Federation of Reproductive Health Associations, Malaysia, which comprise the
balance sheet as at 31 December 2009, statement of income and expenditure, changes in undesignated fund balance and
cash flow statement for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 35 to 52.
Council Members’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Council Members of the Federation are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with International Planned Parenthood Federation accounting policies and the provisions of the Societies
Act 1966 in Malaysia. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies, and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the
circumstances.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant
to the Federation’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Federation’s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with International Planned Parenthood
Federation accounting policies and the provisions of the Societies Act, 1966 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the
financial position of the Federation as of 31 December 2009 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the financial
year then ended.
Other Matters
This report is made solely to the members of the Federation, as a body, in accordance with International Planned Parenthood
Federation accounting policies and the provisions of the Societies Act 1966 and for no other purpose. We do not assume
responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and presented in accordance with IPPF
accounting policies as stated below which have been applied consistently.
3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation except for the following:
(i) Property, plant and equipment donated as gifts by IPPF are stated at IPPF’s value; and
Freehold land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates used for this purpose
are:-
(ii) Property, plant and equipment which cost less than RM1,000 each are written off in the year of purchase.
Buildings
Office equipment
Motor vehicles
10%
20%
20%
Furniture and fittings
Clinic equipment
Air-conditioners
20%

The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
balance sheet date to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous
estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of
the property, plant and equipment.
The value of the property, plant and equipment donated is credited to a Property, Plant and Equipment Fund,
and thereafter released into income over the assets’ estimated useful lives.
(b) Inventories
Inventories are stated on the following basis:
(i) Inventories purchased locally are stated at cost;
(ii) Inventories donated by IPPF are stated at landed cost of inventories at the port of entry. Customs clearing
and forwarding charges are expensed off during the year of acquisition; and
(iii) Inventories donated by third party donors are capitalised at their estimated fair market value if determinable,
or estimated replacement cost or current IPPF commodity prices.
The value of inventories donated is credited to the Inventories Fund and released into income when consumed.

(c)
Translation of Foreign Currencies into Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”)
All assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are converted into US Dollars at the year-end exchange rate.
Income and expenditure items are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year except
for grants received from IPPF which are converted at rates ruling at the date of receipt of the grants.
These exchange differences are dealt with in the movement of the fund balances. The rates of translation used
are as follows:-
The financial statements are maintained in RM.
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into RM at exchange rates ruling at transaction date. Foreign
currency assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are translated into RM at exchange rates ruling at that
date. Exchange differences are dealt with through the income and expenditure account. US Dollar funds
received from IPPF have been converted into local currency in a manner which is in compliance with local
foreign exchange regulations and practices.

sheet date.
Payables

services received.

(ii) Rental and Interest Income
Rental and interest income are recognised on an accrual basis.
(h) Employee Benefits
(i) Short-Term Benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated

period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Federation has no further liability in
respect of the defined contribution plans.

14. TAXATION
The Federation and its member associations have been exempted from income tax under Section 127(1)(b) of the Income
Tax Act, 1967. However, under the Finance Act, 1986, this exemption had been withdrawn with effect from year ended 31
December 1987 (year of assessment 1988).
On 24 October 1990 and 15 December 1990, approvals were obtained from the Director General of Inland Revenue for the
Federation and its member associations to be exempted from income tax with effect from year of assessment 1988 under
Paragraph 13 Schedule 6 of the Income Tax Act, 1967 (as amended). Hence, no provision for taxation has been made in the
financial statements of the Federation for the years of assessment 1988 to 2009.
