Nancy Shukri shares final stages of Malaysia's strategic care plan with focus on ageing population and long-term care services
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 — The Strategic Framework and Care Action Plan in Malaysia 2026-2030, currently being developed by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM), is now in its final stage of preparation. Its Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said that various engagement sessions have been held to ensure the plan aligns with the country's current and long-term needs, including the National Ageing Action Plan 2025-2045, which is currently being drafted. 'One of the key areas KPWKM will focus on is the establishment of an efficient and sustainable long-term care (LTC) service ecosystem. 'At the same time, the ministry is also planning to launch the National Action Plan for Senior Citizens 2026-2030, which will include elements such as safety and protection, lifelong learning, and intergenerational engagement and cohesion,' she said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. She was responding to a question from Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari (PH-Gombak), who asked the ministry to state the number of informal workers registered in the care economy sector and the ministry's policies and preparations to address an ageing population. Commenting on the number of informal workers in the care economy sector, Nancy said currently, no official data has been collected on care services provided by either formal or informal carers in the country. However, she said data collection on care services will be one of the core components of the Strategic Framework and Care Action Plan 2026-2030. 'For the record, to date, KPWKM has recorded a total of 6,744 individuals who hold the Malaysian Skills Certificate (SKM) in Care and Community Services, while another 43,869 individuals possess professional skills in child care. 'These individuals have the skills and qualifications to offer formal care services,' she said. Meanwhile, Nancy said the official data available that can be used to identify informal caregivers is based on recipients of monthly assistance provided by the Social Welfare Department (JKM). 'The government, through JKM, provides monthly welfare assistance to ease the burden of individuals caring for bedridden or critically ill family members under the Bedridden Patient Assistance scheme. As of April 2025, the government has disbursed RM59.6 million to 31,138 recipients,' she added. — Bernama

Attorney General Rokita targets Notre Dame for alleged DEI policies
Attorney General Todd Rokita is seeking information from the University of Notre Dame on diversity efforts. (Niki Kelly/Indiana Capital Chronicle) Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita issued a letter on Thursday accusing the University of Notre Dame of potentially violating discrimination laws as well as jeopardizing its nonprofit status. This is the second time the university has come under fire this year regarding its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. In March, the U.S. Department of Education included Notre Dame among 50 universities targeted for allegedly using racial preferences and stereotypes in education programs, according to WSBT. In that investigation, the university could face losing federal funding if found in violation. At the time the university released a statement saying 'As always, The University of Notre Dame follows the law and in no way practices or condones discrimination. As a Catholic university, we are fully committed to defending the dignity of every human person and ensuring that every person can flourish.' Rokita's letter alleges that Notre Dame's 2023 Strategic Framework and public materials suggest discriminatory practices, including differential treatment based on race or ethnicity. In the letter, he also points to the universities' efforts to boost 'underrepresented' student and faculty members, track enrollment in courses taught by faculty who 'look like' underrepresented students, and host racially segregated 'multicultural recognition ceremonies' for graduates. He argues these practices breach Indiana's anti-discrimination laws and federal laws, specifically in light of the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard that imposed restrictions on race-based admissions. 'Notre Dame's DEI policies raise troubling questions about whether, in its pursuit of DEI goals, the university may be crossing the clear line that Indiana law draws against racial discrimination. I am seeking answers,' Rokita said in the letter. The office requested detailed documentation and information including admissions and hiring practices, changes made to its practices following the Students for Fair Admissions decision, guidance it provides to faculty and admission staff on its DEI goals and an explanation on whether and how race plays a role in recruiting, hiring and enrollment. Rokita asked Notre Dame to respond by June 9. If the university does not respond, the office could take legal action against the university and jeopardize its nonprofit status.
