“…Malay is the national language of Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, and Singapore. It is also spoken by Malay individuals residing in other parts of Southeast Asia, including Southern Thailand, the Philippines, Central Eastern Sumatra, Riau Islands, and parts of the coast of Borneo (Razak, Madison, Siow, & Aziz, 2010). In this region, English either serves as a second language or used limitedly in instances related to diplomacy, tourism, and foreign trade (Hashim & Low, 2014).…”

Introduction Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT) is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring hand dexterity among individuals with or without medical conditions. In the Southeast Asia region where Malay is widely spoken, there is a need to have a Malay translation of Purdue Pegboard Test. This study aimed to translate the PPT into the Malay version (PPT-M) and to determine the content validity and test-retest reliability of this translated version. Methods This study involved: (1) four English teachers (translators) for forward and backward translation procedures; (2) 10 experts in the field of occupational therapy (expert reviewers) for content validity testing; and (3) 60 undergraduate students (participants) for test-retest reliability testing. Results PPT-M had excellent content validity with Item-Content Validity Index = 0.9–1.0, Scale-Content Validity Index/Average = 0.93–0.95, and a slightly lower Scale-Content Validity Index/Universal Agreement = 0.25–0.75. Test-retest reliability for 3-trial administration ( n = 30; Intraclass Correlation Coefficients, ICCs = 0.76–0.85; good) was higher compared to 1-trial administration ( n = 30; ICCs = 0.34–0.46; poor) for all subtests. Both trial administrations were mostly affected by systematic errors, especially practice effect as the retests gave higher scores. Random errors mostly affected Subtest 3 of 1-trial administration, evident by its Minimal Detectable Change Percent values = 30.84% that fell beyond the acceptable range. Conclusion PPT-M has the potential to be a valuable instrument for measuring hand dexterity among Malay speaking individuals especially when the 3-trial administration is used.

Purpose Malaysia, with its diverse culture and multilingual population, presents a unique and interesting setting for working as a speech-language pathologist (SLP). This article discusses the challenges that SLPs face when providing speech and language therapy in Malaysia and issues that need to be addressed for continued growth of this profession. While providing suggestions to SLPs on methods to overcome the challenges faced and improve their clinical practice, this article also calls upon international collaborations in overcoming these challenges. Conclusions Within the last few decades, the SLP profession in Malaysia has continued to grow and develop as it seeks to offer services on par with countries where the profession is more established. However, there is still much room for improvement as Malaysia continues to overcome current challenges.
