Pesta Orang Pencen Highlights Creativity, Learning and Connection

In conjunction with International Older Persons Day, an initiative led by Ts. Dr. Tan Yun Yi, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Cinematic Arts (FCA), welcomed a group of retirees to celebrate retirement as a stage filled with creativity, learning, and meaningful connection at the GMBB Kuala Lumpur on 1 November 2025.

Supported by various public and private institutions, social enterprises, industry partners, students, and volunteers, the event centred around four key areas, namely fitness, health, technology and arts. A range of activities took place throughout the day, offering participants new knowledge, inspiration, and enjoyment.

The FCA team also presented a special programme titled A Peek at Our Older Generation, a student-produced documentary that explores the daily lives and resilience of seniors, including their use of technology during the pandemic. This was followed by a 3-Act Story Writing workshop led by Mr. Ghazi Alqudcy, where participants transformed personal memories into simple three-act stories. These stories were later printed on illustrated postcards, giving seniors the chance to share meaningful messages with friends and loved ones.

Overall, the event fostered a warm and engaging environment that honoured the experiences and creativity of the older generation.
