Government or private?
Malaysia has very few speech-language therapists for its population. That shortage shapes both routes.
Government costs very little
Fees at Ministry of Health facilities are set by regulation and are low.
The waiting list is the real cost
Families commonly wait months for a first appointment.
Private starts sooner
The trade is money for time.
You can use both
Many families stay on the government list while they start privately.
