Historically, Malaysia\u2019s multigenerational way of life meant that one\u2019s later years were naturally spent surrounded by family \u2014 a practice rooted in filial piety and communal responsibility. Today, while the values remain, the realities have shifted as families urbanise, become smaller, or move abroad.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With 7.7% of the populace over 65 years old, Malaysia is now an ageing society by the United Nations\u2019 definition.<\/p>

On a national level, the Economic Outlook 2025 acknowledges this demographic shift, outlining plans to go beyond healthcare to include social activities for the elderly alongside lifelong learning.<\/p>

Complementing this, the 12th<\/sup> Malaysia Plan sets out to elevate the caregiving profession, promote healthy eating and introduce virtual consultations, all pointing towards a more inclusive environment for older persons to not only live but thrive in.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Caring for the Elderly, Redefined<\/h4>

An increase in ageing population means traditional care structures are also transforming. New forms of support are emerging to meet the needs of older persons without compromising dignity or autonomy.<\/p>

Teman MY Ventures PLT (Teman), a recipient of Yayasan\u00a0Hasanah Social Enterprise Fund is one such service provider. The platform connects clients with care companions called Temanions.<\/p>

CEO and founder, Nurul Ezzati Mohamed Nasir explains how the business idea came to her during the pandemic. \u201cMany senior citizens were unable to reach their family members due to movement restrictions. At the same time a large number of people had been retrenched from their jobs and were looking for ways to earn an income.\u201d Matching these two needs led to the founding of Teman.<\/p>

This aligns with the eligibility requirements of HSEF. Josselyn Tan Yong Qi from Yayasan Hasanah\u2019s Social Enterprise team explains that recipients are selected based on social mission and revenue traction. \u201cWe want to know how their business model create impact while still making money\u2026we want them to be able to sustain while making a difference in society.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cFunding from Hasanah came at the right time as we\u2019re now getting enquiries from all over Malaysia. We hope to use this fund to strengthen our Temanion pool,\u201d says Eazzati who plans to expand the currently Klang Valley-based service to Ipoh and Johor Bahru.<\/p>

Teman offers an alternative to defaulting to institutional care or relying solely on family. Some examples of services include accompanying clients on hospital appointments, assisting with errands and caring for them at home. \u201cThis ensures they get home safely, are safe in their own homes and more importantly, not leading a sedentary lifestyle and empowered to do daily activities,\u201d Ezzati says.<\/p>

In essence, Teman offers the possibility of ageing in place: continuing to live at home, on their own terms, with support that respects their independence and choices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

More than a Service Provider<\/strong><\/p>

Since inception, the platform\u2019s database has grown to 200 Temanions, 60 of whom like Afiq Hakimi bin Sengari, are actively serving the social enterprise\u2019s 500 clients. \u201cThe criteria to be a Temanion is patience and passion. Skills can be trained but these two qualities are essential to performing duties well \u201d, says Ezzati adding that matching a client to a suitable companion is a challenge at times.<\/p>

This is the strength of Teman\u2019s approach \u2014 grounded in relationships, shaped by small details, and held together by quiet consistency.<\/p>

We meet Afiq before his session at senior citizens Julia and Shah\u2019s house. The day begins with him reversing his car into their compound, making it easier for them to get in when they go out to run errands. Every step is handled with this level of attentiveness. There is no hospital appointment today but later he will bring Shah to lunch. Some days he also drops Julia off to buy groceries. He spends about two to three hour sessions with them six days a week.<\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re very grateful for the help that we get. It has been a great experience because we never knew people could come to the house and help us in the ways that they have,\u201d says Julia, who has limited mobility since undergoing hip replacement.<\/p>

Afiq says in his previous jobs he mainly interacted with the younger generation. \u201cYou have to be patient as things take time, and when something unexpected happens you have to be in control of your emotions\u2026We will all become old; I always remind myself that the care I offer others should reflect the care I wish to receive when I\u2019m older.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In Good Hands<\/strong><\/p>

Although the concept was initially foreign to them, Julia and Shah\u2019s children placed their trust in Teman during a point when they were desperate for a solution \u2014 their father who is diagnosed with dementia went missing for seven hours after driving out alone. Melbourne-based Nigel Shahnon Hime stumbled upon this service on social media when he and his sister who lives in London were looking for caregiving solutions.<\/p>

Three years on, the service has become indispensable for them. Temanions Afiq and Azeem have become familiar faces for their father, offering a sense of comfort and routine. They hope it will help more families in similar situations.<\/p>

For families separated by distance, Teman offers what few others can \u2014 consistency, care, and peace of mind.<\/p>

Too often, ageing is cast in grayscale, spoken of in terms of burden, decline, loss. But new forms of support are reshaping how we approach ageing \u2014 more honest, more human, and responsive to what people need most.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
