The Institute of Public Relations Malaysia (IPRM) was founded in 1962. IPRM was initiated by a group of public relations practitioners from business, civil society, academia and government who felt the need for an organisation to represent their rapidly expanding profession and undertake relevant professional programmes and activities.
The objectives of the Institute are to promote the interests of public relations practitioners and enhance the practice of public relations in the country.
Today IPRM represents the national public relations body of Malaysia and has over 500 members, both individuals and corporate.
