Malaysia will become an aged nation by 2030. According to Department of Statistic Malaysia (2011), there is an estimate 9.9% or 3.3 millions of ageing population (aged 60 years old and above) from the entire population in 2020, and the number is expected to increase to 4.9 millions by 2030. However, the senior citizens are not digital native, and a majority are technophobic. They have fear of adopting new technologies such as Internet, computer, smartphone and smart gadgets, and a majority face challenges using them. We are in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, it is crucial for the senior citizens to equip themselves with digital transformation skill sets so that they are able to access to the latest information and socially connected with their family, friends and society by using the new technology and ICT tools.
With our humble initiative, PAWE MV Tech Crazz is an outreach program of skill training for seniors community.
We have Tuan Haji Carlos, the Community Activist who represents Senior Citizens and Putrajaya community to speak out the voices and concern for senior community, public and the government. Thus, we here request for your kind support and endeavour to make our dream and PAWE MV Tech Crazz happened for the benefit of senior citizens to be equipped with technical know-how and skillsets. The ultimate goal is to transfer the technological know-how, upskilling and reskilling skills to senior citizens, and help them to age gracefully and obtain financial independence for independent living.
