6 November 2025
On the third day of the ASEAN Conference on the New Frontiers in the Care Economy, 50 delegates from ASEAN member states made an educational visit to Taman Sinar Harapan Tuanku Ampuan Najihah (TSHTAN) in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.
TSHTAN, under Malaysia’s Department of Social Welfare (JKM), is a specialized institution providing care and rehabilitation for children and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The centre offers medical services, life skills training, and educational activities in a structured, supportive environment with strong contributions from volunteers and community partners.
During the visit, the delegation received a comprehensive briefing on TSHTAN’s operations and toured the facilities to observe the services and environment provided for residents.
This engagement served as a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and potential collaboration, particularly in enhancing service delivery for vulnerable groups. It also aligns with regional efforts to address the challenges of an ageing population by 2030.
