- Malaysia’s Older Persons Bill is expected to be tabled next year if it misses the October parliamentary sitting.
- Women, Family and Community Development Minister Nancy Shukri said the government had aimed to present it this year, but delays followed proposals to add new provisions.
Malaysia’s Older Persons Bill may have to wait until next year for presentation in Parliament if it cannot be tabled during the October sitting.
Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said her ministry had targeted this year for the bill’s presentation. The process, however, has been delayed by several new matters proposed for inclusion after engagement sessions.
If the bill does not make it onto the October agenda, it is expected to be brought before Parliament next year.
