MELAKA, Oct 3 — The physical and mental well-being of senior citizens will be among the key areas addressed under the Senior Citizens Bill, which is expected to be tabled in the Cabinet soon, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

She said the bill was being drafted to ensure senior citizens receive adequate protection in various aspects of life, enabling them to enjoy a better quality of life.

“The government already has policies and frameworks in place for senior citizens, and this bill is a follow-up measure to further strengthen their protection.

“The bill specifically focuses on safeguarding senior citizens so that they are protected in all aspects,” she told reporters after officiating the 2026 National-Level Senior Citizens Day celebration at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh here today.
