KUALA LUMPUR: The government plans to table detailed amendments to Islamic family and syariah-related laws in March 2026 to enforce the obligation of adult children to provide financial support for infirm parents, as the country prepares to become an aged nation by 2030.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said while the draft amendments are being finalised, the government will continue advocacy programmes to raise awareness of filial responsibilities.
