PUTRAJAYA: Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said she would focus on the formulation of the Elderly Persons Act and the Social Work Profession Act.
Nancy said the drafting of the new acts needed to be done carefully, taking into account evidence-based studies.
"Some of the other ministry's policies will be maintained for now and if necessary, improvements will be made in line with current developments," she said during a press conference at the ministry here earlier today.
Nancy began her official duties at the ministry at about 12.20pm after attending the special cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
She also held a meeting with the ministry's members of the top management and its agencies.
Nancy is also scheduled to visit the Malaysian Social Institute and the National Population and Family Development Board tomorrow. -- Bernama
