The present scenarios in Malaysia still require many more registered counselors. The existing education in Malaysia is social-oriented and diverse in backgrounds and cultures thus, many more counselors are needed to help the community. Hence, we pay attention to the majority who need help. The counseling curriculum also focuses on the needs of the majority of people based on Islamic values.
