PETALING JAYA: With Malaysia facing an increasingly ageing population, the government should be conscientious of middle-income earners before announcing allocations aimed at seniors, says an expert.
Chai Sen Tyng, from Universiti Putra Malaysia’s Malaysian Research Institute on Ageing, said poorly thought-out projects, which receive funding but lack proper follow-up, often result in allocations that serve as mere cash handouts with little return on investment.
