Hi my cousin just finished his pre-u and now want to pursue medicine. He has done his research and saw that a lot of universities offer MBBS but only a few of them offer MD. May I know what is the difference between these 2 in Malaysia?

In Malaysia, no difference.
Entrance requirements for MBBS and MD are basically the same in Malaysia.
However, in Malaysia, Perdana University's MD degree is basically a graduate medical degree, which follows US medical education system.
UKM MD, USM MD etc are basically the same as MBBS, 5 year program, can apply after Pre-U.

On the other hand, in US, MD refer to a graduate medical degree, which requires the applicants to have a Bachelor's degree before continuing studies in medicine.
MBBS, is an undergraduate medical degree, which follows UK medical education system. Applicants can apply to after completing Pre-U.
