SPECIAL COMMITMENTS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
Senior citizens have sacrificed for the development of Malaysia. The
Pakatan Harapan Government is committed to ensuring the services and
sacrifices of senior citizens are recognised as they deserve a special place in
our country.
In line with that, the Pakatan Harapan Government will take the following
specific measures in efforts to recognise the invaluable contributions of our
senior citizens.
1. Income tax deductions to those who decide to return to work
after retirement.
2. Introduce anti-discrimination laws so that any employer who
discriminates the elderly because of their age will be
punished appropriately.
3. Provide subsidies and incentives to encourage the
construction of retirement villages that can guarantee a good
quality of life for our seniors.
4. Giving greater allocations for public hospitals for elderly
health care.
5. Restructure government policies to create a caring
economy, including by providing qualifications related to
care and needs of senior citizens at the IPTAs and IPTS.
6. Increase the number of Senior Citizen Activity Centre.
