IPOH: With the ageing population increasing in Perak, the state welfare department is preparing several programmes to ensure the well-being of the elderly, says state welfare department director Nor Tipah Majin.
Among the plans set up by the state government and the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry is the Age-Friendly City pilot initiative in Taiping. The initiative is based on the World Health Organisation’s Global Age-Friendly City Guide to make urban areas conducive to senior citizens.
