NPFDB has been celebrating Mothers’ Day since 2002 to honour and appreciate the deeds of all mothers to their families. In conjunction of this year Mothers’ Day celebration, YB Senator Dato’ Sri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Minister of Women, Family and Community Development with NPFDB have launched NUR@rumah. Program at the Taman Permainan, Arked Nelayan, Kampung Pantai Beserah, Beserah, Kuantan.  The theme for Mothers’ Day 2009 was “Dekat Pada Mu”. The NUR@rumah program is another effort from NPFDB to bring the reproductive health services including contraceptive service, breast cancer screening and health screening nearer to the underprivileged women and family. A variety of activities was held by the NPFDB for the celebration focussing on health and the well being of family starting from early morning with aerobic exercise, health screening, talk, quiz and competitions (Family Health Quiz, Family games, Children Colouring Contest and Sirih Junjung Arrangement).

In 1995, Dasar Warga Emas was gazetted in line with the Government’s wish to optimize the welfare of senior citizens.  The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (MWFCD), through the National Population and Family Development Board (NPFDB), has come up with an effort to achieve the wish by introducing the Golden Third Age (G3A): “Anggun dan Sihat” (Elegent and Healthy).  This program, targeted exclusively for those aged 40 and above, is one of the early preparations towards a substantive and well planned the golden years.
