Syabas Pakatan Selangor!

FREE BUS SERVICE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS!

For 50 years... 50 years when BN is in power, they have done nothing to acknowledge the sacrifices and contributions of the senior citizen towards nation building. For 50 years they plundered the people while their cronies lived in huge mansions and palaces without having to pay assessment and quit rent. For 50 years they have done nothing to help the senior citizen to cope with escalating cost of living.

Today, less than 200 days after Pakatan swept into Selangor, less than 200 days after the historic 12th General Election, there is a silver lining in the grey clouds above which I hope the first rays of light will break the gloom that has enveloped the nation for 50 years. I do not expect the new government to work a miracle but all I expect is to see progress towards a more harmonious country.

The assistance to senior citizens in Selangor is to give a little relief to families and pensioners especially at our rising cost of living.

MBPJ has started a free bus service for senior citizens at particular routes.
Also, Dr Xavier Jayakumar (Exco for Caring Society) would welcome any further suggestions to improve the quality of life of senior citizens. You may forward your suggestions to his office at 5th Floor, Bangunan SSAAS, 40000 Shah Alam.

As for grants for the Senior Citizen Club - one can make an application to the ADUN as well as MBPJ. I believe the max grant for clubs and persatuan in an ADUN's area is up to RM2500.

The information as detailed below is accurate

Best regards,
