The track and field competition at the Hangzhou Asian Games was marred by another controversy on Wednesday when officials failed to record a 'good' first throw made by Olympic and world champion Neeraj Chopra.
HULU SELANGOR: Aminah Harun had been waiting at the government clinic in Batang Kali here for nearly four hours and there was no indication of when her turn would finally come to see the doctor.
"Even coming to this clinic here is a problem for us as we have to travel on a busy road full of speeding heavy vehicles. Even those elderly people with motorcycles dare not ride on this road."We can take a bus but have to wait for it for one to two hours. Luckily for me, my son sent me to the clinic,” she said, hoping that the government clinic in Ulu Yam would reopen soon.
The report also stated that Lubok Antu, Sarawak, has the highest elderly population at 14.4%, followed by Sri Aman, Sarawak and Song, Sarawak . "Here, if you don’t have your own car, it’s difficult for you to move around. This is because most of our children are working elsewhere,” he said. "By having an activity centre where we can have health-related programmes and talks, we can expose the local community to healthy lifestyles.
He also sees a need for the authorities to intensify efforts to reach out to the elderly to inform them of the benefits and schemes offered by the government to senior citizens and other needy groups.
