Malaysia's Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) is finalizing its Strategic Framework and Care Action Plan 2026-2030, focusing on long-term care services for an aging population. The plan aligns with other national aging initiatives and will address safety, lifelong learning, and intergenerational engagement.
