Abstract: Dementia is a significant and growing public health issue in Malaysia. However, public knowledge about dementia remains low. The Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS) is a validated tool developed to measure dementia knowledge. Although its has been translated into Malay language, the Malay-Singapore version is linguistically and culturally unsuitable for Malaysian population. The objective of this study is to cross-culturally adapt and validate the Malay-Singapore version of DKAS among general public in Malaysia/. Conlusion are DKAS-MY is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to assess dementia knowledge among general public in Malaysia. It can be used to guide public education campaign and inform local dementia related policies.
