Retirement hasn’t slowed these Kedah seniors down

Retired teacher Zainol Abidin Mohamad, nicknamed Cikgu Non, made an ambitious promise to struggling students in Kedah, offering RM3,000 each if they scored at least seven As in their SPM exams. Despite the wager costing him nearly RM40,000, he remains committed to supporting the local community. Zainol's determination to help these students, now successful in their respective fields, highlights the lasting impact of his efforts.

Similarly, Shoberi Hashim and Fadilah Abdullah, both 70 and 72 years old respectively, have found meaningful work in retirement by managing Rumah Transit Negeri Kedah Taman Temin Jaya, a shelter for people in need. The two friends continue to serve the community well into their retirement, emphasizing that volunteering is driven by a desire to contribute and make a difference, rather than seeking allowances or recognition.
