Looking Forward to Your Golden Years?

Professor Dato' Dr Tengku Aizan Tengku Abdul Hamid, Founding Director, Institute of Gerontology, Universiti Putra Malaysia

Looking Forward to Your Golden Years?

It's that time again, where we contemplate the notion of heading towards becoming an ageing nation. Malaysia is expected to be an aged nation by 2043, and policymakers have been talking quite a lot about how the nation should be preparing for it. So we explore what that preparation and investment would look like, with our guest. And then later, we ask our listeners about how they see themselves in 20 years and if growing older is something they're looking forward to.
