KUALA LUMPUR – Male infertility problems in this country are at an alarming level, the Dewan Negara was told today. 

Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Aiman Athirah Sabu said this was based on sperm analysis data from the National Population and Family Development Board (NPFDB) which found that 60% of the tests showed abnormal results.

“This directly contributes to the increase in fertility problems in married couples in Malaysia.

“At the same time, the birth rate in our country also showed a downward trend over the last 40 years, and it is closely related to the fertility rate, with the data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia showing 1.7 children per every married woman in 2021,” she said during the question and answer session.
