For 40 years, Zaleha Tasrib, 62, worked as a photographer at Muzium Negara in Kuala Lumpur. Throughout her career, she travelled all across Malaysia, taking photos and documenting them for the museum.

Now that she’s retired, Zaleha has found a great way to fill her time by engaging in something else that brings her joy. While some seniors may choose a life of leisure after retirement, Zaleha refuses to rest or relax in the comfort of her home.
