PETALING JAYA: The number of old folks turning up at welfare homes on their own are increasing because their families cannot afford to take care of them.
Growing number of elderly people had been abandoned by their children. Suggestions have been made for Malaysia to adopt a law allowing elderly parents to claim maintenance from their financially-able children.It is the responsibility of the Government to care for the elderly. They have contributed to nation-building and should reap the benefits in their later years.Law should be passed to compel private sector companies to employ senior citizens.Many of them are still active and still want to work.
The ministry would view the bigger picture in providing welfare to citizens.
“Good infrastructure and easy and affordable access to social services is the best form of a social pension we can give, provided there is a strong government and a good economy said datuk sri sharizat abdul jalil.
