4 MESEJ DARIPADA PRESIDEN Implikasi Sosial dan Ekonomi Penuaan Penduduk Malaysia adalah salah satu daripada beberapa negara di rantau Asia Pasifik yang mengalami pembangunan ekonomi yang pesat serta penuaan penduduk. Menjelang tahun 2030, Malaysia akan menjadi sebuah negara penuaan dengan lebih daripade 15% daripada pendudk yang berusia 60an dan ke atas. Terdapat banyak isu dan cabaran yang berkaitan dengan penuaan penduduk. Oleh itu, implikasi sosial dan ekonomi penuaan penduduk perlu dikaji dan dinilai dengan teliti untuk memastikan bahawa kita dapat menangani dan menyelesaikan isu-isu dan cabaran tersebut. Penuaan penduduk bermakna perubahan demografi, tenaga kerja dan produktiviti, penjagaan kesihatan dan sokongan sosial dan banyak faktor mikroekonomi lain termasuk perumahan, pengangkutan, infrastruktur awam dan lain-lain lagi. Apakah implikasi kewangan dan sosial daripada perubahan ini? Apa yang perlu kita lakukan untuk menyesuaikan diri dan menampung perubahan ini dalam ekonomi dan infrastruktur sosial? Ini adalah antara beberapa soalan yang NACSCOM menggesa Kerajaan untuk meneliti dengan serius dan mengambil tindakan yang perlu. Dengan sokongan daripada Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat (KPWKM), NACSCOM akan menganjurkan Seminar Kebangsaan pada bulan April / Mei tahun hadapan. Seminar Kebangsaan ini adalah untuk mengkaji implikasi sosial dan ekonomi penuaan penduduk. Ia akan menjadi satu usaha negara daripada semua pihak berkenaan untuk mencari jawapan dan penyelesaian bagi menyelesaikan isu-isu yang berkaitan dengan penuaan penduduk. Peserta akan terdiri daripada pegawai-pegawai tinggi kerajaan dan pembuat keputusan, institusi kewangan daripada sektor perbankan dan insuran, Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja dan SOCSO, wakil-wakil Kementerian dan jabatan kerajaan, universiti dan institusi pengajian tinggi, Badan Bukan Kerajaan (NGO) sosial dan kebajikan dan wakilwakil dari masyarakat sivil. Kami juga bercadang untuk menjemput pertubuhan antarabangsa seperti HelpAge International dan UNFPA (United Nations Fund for Population Activities). Seminar ini akan membincangkan pelbagai isu dan cabaran yang berkaitan dengan penuaan penduduk. Ia bercadang untuk menghasilkan resolusi dan cadangan kepada Kerajaan Malaysia mengenai perkara yang perlu dilakukan. Ini juga termasuk cadangan untuk semua sektor ekonomi dan masyarakat Malaysia mengenai tindakan yang perlu dilakukan untuk berdepan dengan realiti penuaan penduduk. Bagi Malaysia, masa untuk penuaan penduduk pada 2030 agak pendek. NACSCOM percaya bahawa kita perlu mengambil tindakan yang perlu sekarang supaya kita boleh berurusan dengan apa-apa masalah yang serius seperti isu-isu kewangan dan sosial. Adakah warga tua kita mempunyai sumber kewangan untuk terus hidup 15 hingga 20 tahun akan datang selepas bersara? Bagaimana pula dengan infrastruktur sosial dan kesihatan yang lain? Kita perlu meneliti dan mengenalpasti semua ini dengan segera untuk mengambil langkah-langkah dan tindakan yang perlu untuk memastikan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara yang makmur dan harmoni.

5 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT/ 主席的话 The Social and Economic Implications of Ageing Population Malaysia is one of a number of countries in the Asia Pacific region experiencing rapid economic development as well as population ageing. By the year 2030, Malaysia will be an ageing nation with more than 15% of the population having the age of 60s and above. There are many issues and challenges associated with ageing population. Thus the social and economic implications of ageing population need to be studied and evaluated carefully to ensure that we are able to deal with and resolve these issues and challenges. Ageing population means changes in demography, workforce and productivity, health care and social support, and many other microeconomic factors including housing, transportation, public infrastructure and many others. What are the financial and social implications of these changes? What do we need to do to adapt and accommodate these changes in economy and social infrastructure? These are some of the questions that NACSCOM is urging the Government to look into seriously and take the necessary actions. With the support of the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM), NACSCOM is organising a National Seminar some time in April / May next year. The National Seminar is to study the social and economic implications of ageing population. It will be a national effort of all stake holders to search for answers and solutions to resolve issues related to an aged population. Participants will include top government officials and decision makers, financial institutions from the banking and insurance sector, Employee Provident Fund and SOCSO, representatives of relevant government ministries and departments, universities and institutions of higher education, social and welfare NGOs and representatives from civil societies. We also propose to invite international organisations such as HelpAge International and UNFPA. The Seminar will discuss various issues and challenges to the Malaysian Government on what needs to be done. It will also include recommendations for all sectors of the Malaysian economy and community on what needs to be done to face the reality of an aged population. For Malaysia, the time to an ageing population in 2030 is rather short. NACSCOM believe that we need to take the necessary actions now so that we can deal with such serious problems as financial and social issues. Do our aged population have the financial resources to survive the next years after retirement? What about other social support and health infrastructures? We need to examine and identify all these quickly in order to take the necessary steps and actions to ensure a prosperous and harmonious Malaysia. 来西亚是亚太区遭受到经济和国马民老化急速发展之国家 到了 2030 年马来西亚将拥有超过 15% 的人口在 60 岁以上, 许多难题和挑战都牵连在国家人口老化 于是, 人口老化所面对的社会和经济保障须详细的研讨和确定方针来面对这些课题和挑战 人口的极速老化, 打乱了国家的人口策划 劳力的不足, 生产力减速, 健保成本增加, 社会扶助成本亦相应增长, 再加上其他的社会成本诸如交通, 房屋, 各类基建费用等等 我们是不是准备好了如何去应付因人口老化而带来的变化? 在助力上, 在社会的结构转变上, 我们将如何面对? 有鉴于此, 大马乐龄总会呼吁政府重视此项课题, 快速地, 有方针地付诸行动 感谢妇女家庭及社会发展部, 将于明年四月或五月支撑大马乐龄总会召开全国研讨会 该研讨会将深入研究因人口老化对社会及经济的冲击 这项冲击将影响全国各行各业, 也许全国各阶层的精英寻求解决方案 参与者除了官方个高层部门, 各决策部门之外, 还涵盖大部分的金融街机构, 诸如银行界 保险界 公积金局 劳工保险局等的代表以及政府其他部门的代表及联合各大学学院 社会福利部的高层人员及社团代表等 我们更计划邀请国际团体诸如国际长者援助组织, 联合国人口援助基金局派员出席 我们将会把大会的议决案及解决方案一并呈交予大马政府 建议大马政府该如何务实地处理人口老化问题 NACSCOM 相信我们可充分的应付所面对制经济保障及社会难题 我们的长者能否在退休后再拥有经济能力来度过那 15 至 20 年之余月光辉? 还有其他的社会福利和卫生设备又如何? 我们必须尽快地检讨及明确这些难题, 让我们能以精明的规划和行动来落实一个繁荣又和谐的马来西亚 Datuk Dr Soon Ting Kueh President, NACSCOM Date: 31 st July 2016 马来西亚乐龄组织总会总会长拿督孙镇信博士 August 2016 SENIOR VOICE 5

6 UCAPAN OLEH PRESIDEN, DI MESYUARAT AGUNG TAHUNAN NACSCOM KE-15 UCAPAN OLEH DATUK DR SOON TING KUEH, PRESIDEN NACSCOM DI MESYUARAT AGUNG TAHUNAN NACSCOM KE-15 PADA 7 MEI 2016 (SABTU), KUALA LUMPUR YB SENATOR DATIN PADUKA CHEW MEI FUN, TIMBALAN MENTERI PEMBANGUNAN WANITA, KELUARGA DAN MASYARAKAT Tuan-tuan & Puan-puan, NACSCOM telah meraikan ulangtahun ke-25 pada tahun lepas. Sejak ditubuhkan pada 1990, kami telah bergerak jauh sebagai suara kepada warga emas di Malaysia. Kami mempunyai sejumlah 37 badan bersekutu (affiliates) di Malaysia dengan keahlian hampir 20,000 ahli. NACSCOM sering bekerjasama dengan badan bersekutu, dan terlibat secara aktif dalam menggalakkan hak dan kebajikan komuniti warga kanan dalam Malaysia. Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan, Malaysia mempunyai sebuah masyarakat penuaan yang pesat. Pada dewasa ini, 8% daripada penduduknya adalah berusia lebih 60 tahun. Adalah dianggarkan bahawa pada 2030, kita akan menjadi sebuah masyarakat penuaan dengan 15% penduduk berusia lebih daripada 60 tahun. Adakah kita bersedia menghadapinya dalam perubahan demografi? Matlamat utama NACSCOM adalah untuk mempromosikan hak dan kebajikan warga kanan di Malaysia. Kami bimbang dengan tahap kesediaan kita bagi masyarakat penuaan dalam tahun Apakah isuisu utama yang bakal dihadapi? Isu utama dalam senarai adalah jaminan kewangan. Di Malaysia, warga emas adalah terlalu bergantung kepada sokongan keluarga. Kita mempunyai sekumpulan pesara yang menerima pencen daripada kerajaan. Terdapat kumpulan lain yang mana telah mencarum kepada KWSP dan menerima sejumlah wang besar setelah bersara dari bekerja. Terdapat kumpulan ketiga yang lebih besar yang tidak mempunyai pendapatan tetap dan bergantung kepada sokongan keluarga, masyarakat dan kerajaan. Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan, Malangnya unit keluarga secara perlahan-perlahan sedang runtoh. Kita mempunyai orang tua yang ditinggalkan oleh anak mereka, golongan miskin di luar bandar dan bandar yang tidak mempunyai pengantunggan dan ramai warga emas yang diabaikan oleh keluarga atau masyarakat. NACSCOM berpendapat bahawa adalah menjadi tanggungjawab kerajaan dan masyarakat sivil supaya warga emas dijaga semasa berusia tua. Dengan erti kata yang lain, Tiada warga emas patut dipinggirkan dalam proses pembangunan sosio-ekonomi. Dari aspek ini, NACSCOM ingin mencadangkan supaya ditubuhkan Jabatan Hal Ehwal Warga Emas di bawah Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat (KPWKM) untuk menjaga kebajikan sosial dan jaminan kewangan warga emas di Malaysia. Satu lagi isu adalah berkenaan dengan rawatan kesihatan dan perubatan orang berusia. Kita perlu mengaku bahawa pada ketika ini, Kerajaan sedang menyediakan rawatan kesihatan dan perubatan asas kepada semua kumpulan penduduk. Kami ingin mencadangkan supaya Kerajaan menubuhkan satu kumpulan pakar untuk mengkaji dan melihat ke arah rawatan perubatan dan kesihatan orang tua, terutama mereka yang memerlukan penjagaan jangka khas atau panjang. Hak-hak warga emas juga mesti dilindungi. Warga tua mesti dilayan dengan hormat dan bermaruah. Mereka perlu diberi peluang yang sama dalam semua aspek masyarakat, termasuk kebajikan dan perkhidmatan sosial yang lain, peluang pekerjaan dan sebagainya. Kerajaan harus menyokong Konvensyen PBB mengenai Hak Orang Tua. Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, NACSCOM adalah sangat aktif dalam melibatkan warga emas dalam pelbagai aktiviti untuk menggalakkan suasana yang sihat fikiran dan badan. Kami berasa gembira kerana ramai warga emas secara aktif sentiasa mengambil bahagian dalam pelbagai program yang dianjurkan oleh NACSCOM dan badan sekutu kami. NACSCOM juga akan secara aktif mempromosikan Pembelajaran Sepanjang Hayat dalam masyarakat warga emas selaras dengan dasar kerajaan mengenai penuaan secara produktif dan sihat. Dalam aspek ini, kami memerlukan sokongan Kerajaan untuk menyediakan bantuan kewangan dan sokongan lain supaya kami dapat melaksanakan pelbagai program Pembelajaran Sepanjang Hayat. Akhir kata, saya ingin merakamkan penghargaan ikhlas kepada ahli bersekutu, ahli-ahli Majlis NACSCOM, kakitangan NACSCOM dan Urusetia yang bekerja rapat dengan saya untuk menjadikan NACSCOM sebagai suara warga emas di Malaysia dan dalam mencapai matlamat kami untuk berkhidmat kepada masyarakat warga emas di Malaysia. Saya berharap badan bersekutu kami, sektor korporat dan orang awam akan memberi sokongan kuat untuk mengumpul dana, terutama bagi Rumah Warga Emas NACSCOM di Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. Kami mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kepada Timbalan Menteri, YB SENATOR DATIN PADUKA CHEW MEI FUN atas sokongan yang kuat kepada NACSCOM. Kami akan bekerjasama dengan YB Menteri untuk menjaga kebajikan dan hak-hak warga emas di Malaysia. Terima kasih. Datuk Dr Soon Ting Kueh Presiden, NACSCOM 7hb. Mei SENIOR VOICE August 2016

7 ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT, AT NACSCOM 15 TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ADDRESS BY DATUK DR SOON TING KUEH, PRESIDENT, NACSCOM AT NACSCOM 15 TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2016 ON SATURDAY 7 TH MAY 2016, KUALA LUMPUR YB SENATOR DATIN PADUKA CHEW MEI FUN, TIMBALAN MENTERI PEMBANGUNAN WANITA, KELUARGA DAN MASYARAKAT Dato -Dato, ahli Lembaga NACSCOM, ahli-ahli dari affiliate NACSCOM, wakil media, para hadirin-hadirat, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan yang dihormati sekalian. Terlebih dahulu saya ingin mengucapkan selamat pagi dan salam sejahtera kepada semua para jemputan. Saya juga ingin merakamkan ribuan terima kasih kepada YB SENATOR DATIN PADUKA CHEW MEI FUN, TIMBALAN MENTERI PEMBANGUNAN WANITA, KELUARGA DAN MASYARAKAT atas kesudian beliau untuk merasmikan Mesyuarat Tahunan NACSCOM pada hari ini. Seterusnya izinkan saya memberi ucapan saya dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Ladies & Gentlemen, First of all, I would like to thank YB SENATOR DATIN PADUKA CHEW MEI FUN, DEPUTY MINISTER OF WOMEN, FAMILY & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT for accepting our invitation to officiate at the opening of the NACSCOM 15th Annual General Meeting (AGM) this morning. NACSCOM has celebrated our 25th Anniversary last year. Since its inception in 1990, we have come a long way to become the voice of senior citizens in Malaysia. We have a total of 37 affiliates throughout Malaysia with a total membership close to 20,000. Working closely with the affiliates, NACSCOM is actively involved in promoting the rights and welfare of senior citizens community in Malaysia. Ladies and Gentlemen, Malaysia is a rapidly ageing society. At this moment, we have 8% of the population above the age of 60. It is estimated that by 2030, we will be an ageing society with 15% of the population above the age of 60. Are we prepared for this change in demography? The main objective of NACSCOM is to promote the rights and welfare of the senior citizens in Malaysia. We are really concerned on our preparedness for an ageing society in What are the main issues? First on the list is financial security. In Malaysia, older persons are very much dependent on family support. Of course, we have a large group of retirees who received pensions from the Government. There is another group who have contributed to EPF and received a lump sum upon retirement from work. But there is a third and much bigger group of older persons who have no fixed income and are very much dependent on the support of the family, the community and the Government. Ladies and Gentlemen, Very unfortunately, the family unit is slowly breaking down. We have aged parents who are abandoned by their children, urban and rural poor who have no dependents, and many other older persons who are being neglected by the family or the community. NACSCOM felt that it is the responsibility of the Government and civil society to ensure that all older persons are taken care of in their old age years. In other words, NO SENIOR CITIZENS SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND in our socio-economic development. In this aspect, NACSCOM will like to recommend that a Senior Citizens Affairs Department be set up under the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, or KPWKM in Bahasa, to look into the social welfare and financial security of senior citizens in Malaysia. There is another issue of health and medical care of the aged. We must admit that at this moment, Government do provide the basic health and medical care to all population groups. But we feel that senior citizens need special consideration in their medical treatments and health care. We would like to propose that the Government set up a specialist group to study and look into medical and health care of the aged, especially those who require special or long term care. The rights of the senior citizens must also be protected. Older persons must be treated with respect and dignity. They should be given equal opportunity in all aspects of society, including welfare and other social services, job opportunity, etc. The Government should support the UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons. Ladies and Gentlemen, NACSCOM has been very active in engaging senior citizens in various activities to promote a healthy state of mind and body. We are happy that many senior citizens are actively taking part in various programmes organised by NACSCOM and our affiliates. NACSCOM will also be actively promoting Lifelong Learning in senior citizens community in line with the government s policy on Productive and Healthy Ageing. In this aspect, we will need Government support to provide us with financial grants and other support for us to implement various Lifelong Learning programmes. Last, but not least, I would like to record my sincere appreciation to the Affiliates, members of NACSCOM Council, the NACSCOM Secretariat staff for working closely together with me to make NACSCOM the voice of senior citizens in Malaysia and in achieving our objective of serving our senior citizens community in Malaysia. I hope that our Affiliates and also the corporate sector and the general public will give us strong support to raise fund, especially for our NACSCOM Old Folks Home in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. Our utmost gratitude and since appreciation goes to the Deputy Minister, YB SENATOR DATIN PADUKA CHEW MEI FUN, for your staunch support of NACSCOM. We shall work closely with your Minister to promote the welfare and rights of senior citizens in Malaysia. Thank You.

Day Centre of The Aged The Management of SP Senior Citizens Association is seriously considering starting a centre for the aged in Sungai Petani for the senior citizens. They have nowhere to go and nobody to talk to at home. Their family members are too busy with their work and other commitments. Their children could drop them at this centre in the morning when they go to work and pick them up in the evening after work. Their parents can mingle with those of their age group, read newspapers or engage in indoor games to kill their time. Thus, we are looking for a suitable property with ample space for such a centre. Should there be such a suitable place in the vicinity, kindly inform the President of SP Senior Citizens Association. 14 SENIOR VOICE August 2016

The Club was very privileged when the USJ6 Residents Association donated 2 plots of farm land at the Kebun Komuniti USJ6 Project to SCCSJ in March 2016 for our green fingers to do farming. The joint project will help develop the relationship and cooperation between members and the community at large. The SCCSJ Green Fingers team of 10 farmers immediately tilled the barren land, put in the black soil and fertilizer, and planted various varieties of vegetables and also papaya trees. The vegetable seeds were donated by MPSJ and by a member. Many came forward as volunteers to water and weed the plants. The attached photos show the transformation of the farm land from barren soil to land filled with luscious vegetables, ready for harvesting. We look forward to the official launch of this Kebun Komuniti USJ 6/6D by YB Hannah Yeoh at the end of August All are welcome to the launch.
