MMU Academics Appointed to National Care Standards Development for Older People

Two academic members from the Faculty of Management (FOM), Dr Oliva Tan Swee Leng, Chair of the Research Centre for Law and Technology, and Ms Nursyamimi Houd, have been appointed to serve on the National Care Standards Development for Older Persons under the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM).

The initiative aims to develop and strengthen national standards for the care of older people, with a focus on ensuring quality, safety and dignity in care practices. The standards are expected to provide clearer guidance for care providers while responding to the needs of Malaysia’s growing older population.

Through their expertise and involvement, Dr Oliva and Ms Nursyamimi will contribute to the development of standards that promote the well-being of older persons and support safer, more responsive care environments. Their appointment reflects their expertise and commitment to contributing to national efforts that strengthen care standards and improve the well-being of older persons in Malaysia.

Congratulations!
