Malaysia's Ageing Population: An Age-old Issue Addressed

Recent statistics from the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry have revealed that in 2021 alone, 752 senior citizens were abandoned at hospitals by their family members.

Hawati Abdul Hamid, a Researcher at Khazanah Research Institute breaks down the issue for us.
