SUSEELA Dass enrolled in dance classes two years ago when she turned 60. Although she was the oldest student in her class of mostly thirty-somethings, she didn't feel out of place. In fact, she was thrilled to be pursuing her passion. Dancing made her happy, and she realised she had rhythm.
Like Suseela, many Malaysians who are in their 50s and above are discovering that age isn't a barrier to learning new things. The media is filled with stories of those in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond who are breaking barriers – people who start a new career in their 60s, who hike the world's highest peaks in their 70s, run marathons in their 80s and dance through their 90s!
