We thank them all. 9 Editor's Note This Conference, Children - Our Future, is, as one of the leading newspapers in Malaysia so rightly puts it, the grand finale to a 10-year study. The re- searchers of the Malaysian Child Development Project (MCDS) spent five years in designing, constructing, testing and validating the instruments for measuring children's cognitive, language and socioemotional deve:opment, and five years in studying the development of preschool children. Many hu- man hours had been put into this study as, every year for the last four years, at least seven lecturers from the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Malaya and fifty research assistants, not count- ing the technicians, were out on the fields to measure the physical, intellectual, language and socioemotional development of children of three to six years of age. This study looks at children's development from the psychological, medi- cal and educational perspectives and it is both a longitudinal and a cross- sectional study. Even in developed countries, a study of this scope and magnitude is rare. Hence, it is not unexpected that the researchers of MCDS are eager to share the wealth of information which they have collected with other Maiaysians and their Asean neighbours. The Conference was organised with the following objectives: 1.To examine the status of physical and psychological development of cul- turally advantaged and deprived children; 2.To examine the contribution of heredity and environment to children's de- velopment; ,3.To propose strategies for the development of children. iv Securing ()ur I uture The researchers of MCDS felt that it would be better to discuss children's development in a wider context so that they,

  • URUGUAY INVITES PROTON to SET up PLANT (Bernama 03/07
    03 JUL 1996 Uruguay-Proton URUGUAY INVITES PROTON TO SET UP PLANT KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Uruguay has invited Malaysia to set up plants there for assembling or manufacturing cars for export to countries in the region. Foreign Ministry Deputy Secretary-General Datuk Abdul Halim Ali said today that since Uruguay did not have its own automobile industry, it felt that Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional (Proton) could use it as a base to export to Brazil and Argentina. As a member of the Mercosur economic cooperation, which also includes Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, Uruguay has the trade facilities and export quota in several areas like automobile industry to move into these countries. "This is certainly a very attractive offer and it will be conveyed to Proton," Abdul Halim told reporters after a meeting between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Uruguayan President Dr Julio Maria Sanguinetti at the Prime Minister's Department here. This is among several fields that have been identified for Malaysian investors to venture into in Uruguay, apart from infrastructure development like building of roads, bridges, ports and tourism facilities. Sanguinetti arrived yesterday for a five-day visit at the invitation of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Ja'afar to strengthen bilateral ties in line with South-South cooperation. Halim said Dr Mahathir and Sanguinetti also exchanged views on developments in their respective regions. While Uruguay said it could be a gateway into the Mercosur market for Malaysian goods, Malaysia made known its potential as a base for Uruguay's products to penetrate the Asean countries.

  • Sulaiman Daud Leaves It to Dr Mahathir to Decide His Candidacy
    11 OCT 1999 Sulaiman-Election SULAIMAN DAUD LEAVES IT TO DR MAHATHIR TO DECIDE HIS CANDIDACY KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 (Bernama) -- Agriculture Minister Datuk Amar Dr Sulaiman Daud is leaving it to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad to decide on whether he should be fielded in the coming general election. Dr Sulaiman, who is the vice president of Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu (PBB), said that he would not offer his personal views on the issue of the nomination of candidates in the general election as it was the prerogative of Dr Mahathir, who is the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman. "I don't understand why the media is so interested in such matters," he told reporters after opening a forum on "Water Quality Management" and the Seventh Malaysian National Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (Mancid) conference, here, today. Dr Sulaiman, who is Member of Parliament for Petra Jaya, however pledged to continue to serve the people if fielded in the general election. He was commenting on a Bernama report on Oct 5 quoting PBB sources as saying that Dr Sulaiman would be among several incumbents to be dropped from the list of candidates for the general election. Dr Sulaiman is said to be dropped because he has served for a long time and that Petra Jaya, an urban constituency, requires a younger candidate. According to the sources, among others to be dropped are Defence Minister Datuk Abang Abu Bakar Mustapha, who is MP for Kuala Rajang, Bukit Mas MP Michael Lisa Kaya, Kapit MP James Jimbun Pungga and Santubong MP Rohani Karim.

All rights reserved First published in March 2018 Printed in Malaysia SOCIAL SECURITY RESEARCH CENTRE (SSRC) Faculty of Economics and Administration University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur PREFACE Who Says I’m Retired Most people regard retirement as a time to let go, relax and take things easy. But there are retirees who continue to work on the same job, take up a new job or venture into business. With increasing life expectancy, more years will be spent in retirement and there is a need to accumulate sufficient savings for retirement. Most retirees do not have adequate savings or defined-benefit pensions. Hence, older people have to continue working to meet the escalating cost of living and health care. Among retirees who have adequate savings or defined-benefit pension, there are those who are participating more actively than ever before in civil society activities or picking up new skills. For these people, the word “retirement” is not in their vocabulary. What motivates the older people to continue with their active engagement in work and society? Active engagement promotes emotional wellbeing and physical health, as well as social integration and support.
