Dear Friends,
2025 marks the crystal anniversary of the Malaysian Endocrine and Metabolic Society’s Annual Congress(MAC). Over the years MAC has bloomed to become one of the most highly anticipated nationalcongresses not only for the adult and paediatric endocrinologist, but also for the generalist who deals with the many routine endocrine problems.
The field of endocrinology is moving at an extremely rapid pace and it is easy to fall through the many“gaps”. Hence, MAC 2025 is themed “Mind The Gap: Translating Knowledge Into Practice” and aims toaddress the many “unaddressed” questions in endocrinology and equip you with the confidence tomanoeuvre through your practice, backed up by sound scientific evidence.

MAC 15 which is planned for the weekend of 30th May-1st June 2024 at the Hilton and Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur, will be a star -studded affair. This year’s congress will witness the largest number of international speakers ever, with more than a dozen of them from various regions, who are really the “who’s who” in their respective fields. They will be joined by our local esteemed speakers to deliver new insights via plenaries, symposiums and meet the expert sessions. The pre-congress workshop for 2025 will be held on the 29th of May 2025 at the same venue and will engage a full day multi-disciplinary discourse on the advances in the management of thyroid cancers.
We hope that 2025 will bring you the BIGGEST MAC EVER not only in terms of impactful scientific content, but also giving lot of fun opportunities to connect with old and new friends, win prizes for best abstracts presented, to forge local and international collaborations and for the industry to showcase the best of their best.
We also warmly welcome our friends from outside of Malaysia so you will also have a chance to enjoy the colourful city, sunshine and culinary delights of Kuala Lumpur while you are here for the congress. I am superbly excited and look forward to welcoming all of you at the BIGGEST MAC ever!
Yours Sincerely,

It is my great pleasure to welcome everyone to Kuala Lumpur and the 15 th Malaysian Endocrine & Metabolic Society Annual Conference.
The theme chosen this year is Mind the Gap. In a rapidly changing, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scientific landscape, it is our hope that the conference content will facilitate the translation of knowledge into clinical practice. The programme has been designed with tracks catering to the needs of both the generalist and sub-specialist in mind. Topics range from the everyday(ie diabetes, menopause, PCOS, thyroid disease) to emerging under-recognized but “more common than you think” conditions(primary aldosteronism) to the unicorns of endocrinology (phaeochromocytoma/ acromegaly). The Meet-the Expert case-based discussions will provide opportunities to interact with thought-leaders in their respective specializations. We have not shied away from addressing issues such as the abuse of hormones – do check out the aptly titled session “ Brawn, Beauty and Wellness” for a stimulating time.

There will also be highly topical debates on controversies and dilemmas in endocrinology.
In other words, to use a metaphor that all food-loving Malaysians understand, we have endeavoured to provide a veritable buffet of “all-you-can-eat“ options to satisfy everyone from primary to quarternary care.
This year, we are also very fortunate to have a star-studded line-up of fantastic speakers , both homegrown and international. The committee did not limit the scientific panel to endocrinologists alone, but rather experts from diverse fields such as nuclear medicine, oncology, IR and OBGYN have been invited to participate, in recognition of the fact that it takes a small kampung/village of doctors to manage our increasingly complex patients in a holistic manner.
Finally, none of this would have been possible without the tireless efforts of our organizing chairman Prof Jeya, and the entire committee- I would like to acknowledge and thank them here.
So do enjoy yourself : network, make memories and have fun learning/growing!
