Currently, there are an estimated 3.5 million people – or 7% of the population – in Malaysia who are above the age of 65. This group is the most vulnerable in terms of maintaining a minimum standard of living until the age of 77 or so, which is the average lifespan for a Malaysian male. This means 65-year-olds live for another 12 to 15 years after retirement.
Even now, does the ageing population have the financial resources needed to maintain a decent standard of living? And are they emotionally stable enough to overcome anxiety and feelings of neglect, loneliness and rejection? Do those who are pensionable find the rising costs of food and other necessities eating into their monthly allowance?

The Auld Lammas Fair likely to be cancelled for second year Lammas Fair 16 March, 2021 09:25
The Auld Lammas Fair, Ireland’s oldest fair, looks likely to be cancelled for the second year in succession.
The fair had been held in Ballycastle without interruption for nearly four centuries until last year when it fell victim to a raft of event cancellations following the onset of the pandemic.
The Auld Lammas Fair is traditionally held every year on the last Monday and Tuesday of August and would normally see thousands lining the streets of the seaside town of Ballycastle.
Members of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s Leisure & Development committee will be told tonight (Tuesday, March 16) that due to the ‘unpredictable course of the pandemic’ it remains too challenging to even begin preparations for the world famous festival which can take up to eight months to plan in advance.
