"Upon first school enrolment, each child is provided with a school health record (Rekod Kesihatan Murid, see Annex 3), which contains personal data, history (birth, diseases, and previous immunizations), parental consent and health data (growth and development status, vision and hearing, physical examination, school immunization, interventions carried out at school and referrals). General parental consent in writing is only obtained at the beginning, and based on the Education Act 1996, it is mandatory for parents to allow physical examinations. The act is also binding for schools. However, if a student or parent refuses immunization, this is accepted."
