The Fear and Fun of Growing Old

The Fear and Fun of Growing Old

Perak is projected to reach ageing status by the year 2030, which will make it the first state to do so. This means Perak needs to step up its game in terms of policies that support the elderly. Amidst these conversations are also questions about the idea of ageing, and whether that is something to look forward to or be afraid of. We explore this question with our listeners.
