SHAH ALAM, July 20 — The Selangor Muslimah Retirees Club (KPMS) has launched Rumah Ngaji, an initiative aimed at expanding Quranic learning through both physical and online platforms while empowering retirees to pass on their knowledge and experience to younger generations.
Its president Latiffah Sidek said the initiative is designed not only to benefit club members but also to provide opportunities for their children, grandchildren and family members to learn and deepen their understanding of the Quran under the guidance of experienced retirees.
“This Rumah Ngaji is conducted physically and also online. InsayAllah (God willing), we are striving to help the next generation, our children and grandchildren learn and deepen their knowledge of Quranic studies.
“For now, we are prioritising our members, but among our members are their families. We will guide their children and grandchildren because we do not want to leave them out.
“Residents in the surrounding areas can also join, and we will look into the appropriate approach later," she said after the KPMS Hi-Tea event in conjunction with Retirees' Day 2026 at Kelab Shah Alam.
Earlier, the Rumah Ngaji initiative was officially launched by former Selangor Islamic Religious Council chairman Tan Sri Dato' Seri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.
Latiffah added that the establishment of Rumah Ngaji reflects KPMS' commitment to ensuring retirees continue to contribute to society by sharing the knowledge, experience, and expertise they have accumulated throughout their careers.
“Many retirees have expertise in education, communication, religion, arts, and welfare. We want to make use of this experience again to help the community.
“We do not want the knowledge and experience we have to go to waste. Instead, it should be put to good use and voluntarily shared with the community,” she said.
Moreover, KPMS, which was established on October 1, 2020, with only three members, has now grown to nearly 900 members, reflecting retirees' confidence in the club's role and mission.
Latiffah said that KPMS, which aims to become Malaysia's leading Muslimah retirees club, is stepping up efforts to recruit more members through outreach programmes across all nine districts in Selangor.
“Alhamdulillah (God be praised), our membership continues to grow. We will continue introducing KPMS to retirees throughout the state so that more people can join us in contributing to society even after retirement.
“We welcome retirees who once served in Selangor but have since relocated or returned to their hometowns to join this club. We can share our experiences and remain active together," she said.
