Peranan Institusi Wakaf Dalam Melestarikan Pengurusan Warga Emas Di Malaysia
Role Of Waqf Institution In The Sustainable Management Of Senior Citizens In Malaysia
Abstract
The global population of senior citizens is expected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. However, the population of senior citizens in Malaysia is expected to reach 3.5 million by 2020 and 6.3 million by 2040. Initially, Malaysia has been classified aging nation by 2030. Among the challenges faced by senior citizens include deteriorating health conditions, malnutrition, lack of shelter and housing, depression, declining productivity and unstable financial status. In order to deal with these challenges, the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development through the Department of Social Welfare has developed Senior Citizens Unit (Unit Penyayang Warga Emas) which has been equipped with various facilities and financial assistance to qualified senior citizens. The main issue is should the burden of caring for senior citizens be placed solely on the government. Hence, the objective of this article is to evaluate the role of waqf institution in the sustainable management of senior citizens in Malaysia and to suggest the method of its implementation. A qualitative methodology was employed to analyse the data through descriptive and comparative methods. The finding of the research reveals that shared governance and responsibility could create a sustainable management of senior citizens especially in the aspect of the financial care of senior citizens.
Abstrak
Populasi warga emas di dunia akan mencecah 2.1 billion menjelang tahun 2050. Manakala, jumlah penduduk warga emas di Malaysia pula dijangka mencecah ke angka 3.5 juta pada tahun 2020 dan 6.3 juta pada tahun 2040. Natijahnya, Malaysia telah diklasifikasikan sebagai negara warga tua pada tahun 2030. Masalah utama yang dihadapi oleh warga emas ialah keadaan kesihatan yang menurun, kekurangan nutrisi, kekurangan tempat perlindungan, kemurungan, tahap produktiviti yang menurun dan kedudukan kewangan yang tidak stabil. Untuk menangani cabaran ini, Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat Malaysia (KPWKM) menerusi Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) telah menyediakan Institusi Warga Emas yang dilengkapi dengan pelbagai fasilitis dan kemudahan, mewujudkan Unit Penyayang Warga Emas serta menyediakan bantuan kewangan kepada mereka yang berkelayakan. Persoalannya adakah hanya pihak kerajaan dipertanggungjawabkan ke atas penjagaan warga emas di Malaysia? Justeru, objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menilai peranan institusi wakaf dalam melestarikan pengurusan warga emas di Malaysia serta mencadangkan kaedah pelaksanaanya. Kaedah kualitatif dilakukan dengan menggunakan metodologi kepustakaan untuk mengumpul data. Manakala penganalisisan data menggunakan kaedah deskriptif dan komparatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan tadbir urus dan perkongsian tanggungjawab antara Institusi Wakaf dan pihak kerajaan dapat melestarikan pengurusan warga emas di Malaysia, khususnya dalam pembiayaan penjagaan mereka.
