Most doctors continued to do their postgraduate studies at the LSHTM as Malaya (now Malaysia) is regarded a "tropical" country when it is actually a little north of the equator.
Diseases of the tropics are plenty and these have been studied and continue to be studied at the LSHTM.
After passing exams conducted by the LSHTM, doctors obtained their first postgraduate degree, i.e., Diploma in Public Health (DPH). The duration of study was approximately two years.
Malaya had sent its students to the LSHTM from 1950 onward. The first student who received the Queens' Scholarship to do postgraduate studies at LSHTM was (Tan Sri) Dr Abdul Majid bin Ismail, who became the second Director-General of Health Malaysia.
