Historical point of view; In 1966, the National Family Planning Board (LPKN) was established under the Family Planning Act 1966 [Act No. 42/1966] as a statutory body placed under the Prime Minister’s Department, where the main function of LPKN at that time was to implement family planning programs and activities in Malaysia.

In line with the changing times, Act No. 42/1966 has undergone several amendments where in 1984, the Act was amended to the Population and Family Development Act 1966 [Act 352] and the name of LPKN was changed to the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN). With this name change, the role of LPPKN was also expanded, from the delivery of family planning services alone, to a broader population and socio-economic development perspective.

The expansion of the functions and roles of LPPKN is in line with the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD-PoA) held in 1994, the LPPKN programme has been modified to cover three (3) main areas, namely:

1. Population;

2. Family development;

3. Human reproduction;

The Cabinet also agreed, on 13 June 2001, to establish a new direction and approach for LPPKN as the lead agency in these three areas in Malaysia.

Currently, LPPKN is the only federal statutory body placed under the Ministry of Women, Family and Community since 2001.
