Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 6: Rahayu Mahzam on senior volunteerism
One meaningful way of actively engaging seniors so that they are not socially isolated is to encourage them to volunteer. This must be done with an understanding of demographics, as younger seniors these days are more educated and tech-savvy. A more structured approach is needed to find opportunities that interest them and create avenues for them to participate. Senior Parliamentary Secretary Rahayu Mahzam said this in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 6). She asked for details on the Government’s plans to encourage senior volunteerism.
