DEPARTMENT of Statistics Malaysia chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin reports that Malaysia is expected to reach the super-aged society category by 2057 — forecasting 23.4 per cent of Malaysians to be aged 60 and above by 2050.
For many of us, our loved ones are already part of that figure. As children, we dream of giving back to our ageing parents and granting them the best retirement possible — but life happens.
We get busier. Medical appointments and quality time become harder to slot into our hectic schedules, and it's no one’s fault.
But our loved ones' quality of life is uncompromisable. So how do we juggle the responsibilities of adult life, while simultaneously ensuring our elderly are healthy and well-cared for?
