One in three 54-year-olds will retire with below RM10k in EPF. Deputy Finance Minister stated that low EPF savings is a legacy problem inherited from previous governments, and structural reforms were needed. #malaysia #ageing #retirement #EPF #poverty thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…

"Raising the retirement age from 60 to 65 is one way to address the low retirement savings crisis, say experts. The government must also look at the social aspect and extend a protection system to those without a sufficient retirement nest egg." thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…

"Around USD$33 billion was withdrawn from Malaysia’s pension fund, the Employee Provident Fund, to mitigate the impact of the pandemic. But now, the country could be facing a retirement timebomb." #malaysia #ageingpopulation #poverty #EPF channelnewsasia.com/watch/insight-…?

"The old-age wellbeing of the rakyat remains one of the government’s priorities due to the low level of protection under the formal pension and retirement schemes among Malaysians." malaymail.com/news/malaysia/…

A long overdue Part 2 of the making of Grey Scale. "The days extended into months, and months into a year, I began to realize that this story needed time to unfold the facets of my aunt’s life. Such stories tend to tell itself, and it cannot be rushed." evelynteh.com/blog/2022/9/22…

"... 20 per cent of cases (456 out of 2,355) between January and April 2022 involved parental abuse. A large segment of victims were 60 years and above." #ageing #malaysia #seniorcitizens #humanrights #ageingpopulation #welfare #seniors #gerontology nst.com.my/opinion/letter…

If the elderly must work to survive and avoid eviction, maybe it's time to examine and address the societal flaws. #ageing #ageingmalaysia #retirement #housing #welfare #malaysia freemalaysiatoday.com/category/natio…

"A few days later, as I parked my car, I noticed an elderly man in his seventies diligently washing cars... Under the intense afternoon sun, he meticulously washed one car after another, earning a meager sum." #ageingmalaysia #ageing #inequality #poverty #pk_campaign=MASwpn&pk_kwd=Help+unrecognised+destitute+in+our+society" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thesundaily.my/opinion/help-u…

@ZaLaoshuai @freedomfilmfest Thanks for your interest. Will think of an avenue to screen the documentary in Seberang Perai 🙏

@greyscaledocmy @freedomfilmfest Love to attend but can't do it because of the transportation in Seberang Perai. The bus service ends at 10pm.

More than half of the members nearing full withdrawal age (50 – 54 yrs) have <RM50,000 in savings. EPF savings faced additional setbacks due to the Covid-19-related withdrawals, leaving them more vulnerable to the risk of old-age poverty. #ageingmalaysia nst.com.my/news/nation/20…

"What little they had saved would have been spent on the education and weddings of their children, medical expenses, paying off loans and others. As such, they are almost bankrupt in their golden years unless their offspring are able to help them." malaysiakini.com/letters/655695

The 13 residents are single senior citizens from Klang Valley, Perak and Terengganu who either have no relatives or whose children cannot care for them because of work commitments. It costs about RM22,000 per month to keep the home running. thestar.com.my/metro/metro-ne…

For many others, retirement can be challenging, especially when it comes to finances. But how much exactly do you need, and could you save enough for it? #EPF #RetirementPlanning #ageinginplace #malaysia freemalaysiatoday.com/category/leisu…

Nancy Shukri, the Women, Family and Community Development Minister, announced that the national action plan for senior citizens is being reviewed. A bill will be tabled in 2024 concerning the possibility of a law on filial responsibility. @aliranmalaysia aliran.com/thinking-allow…
