Time to recognise profession of social workers


YES, it is time for the government to recognise the social work profession, “Give social workers recognition or lose them” (The Star, Feb 19). A classmate of mine completed his undergraduate studies in social work at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) about 40 years ago. He went on to pursue postgraduate studies in Hong Kong and returned to work – not in Malaysia but in Singapore.
