The Penang State Government under CM Lim Guan Eng has pledged to help senior citizens in the state. Citizen journalists Chan Lilian and Jimmy Leow met with Sim Tze Tzin who is the ADun for Pantai Jerjak at an Indian temple to find out how this Warga Emas works. According to ADun Sim, voters in Penang who are above 60 years old are eligible to fill up a form and submit to their respective ADuns. The Penang State Government has given them a period of 10 months to do so, i.e. until March 2010. The two citizen journalists also appeal to the rest of the ADuns in Penang to be more proactive in helping the poor and the underprivileged community by making welfare help application much easier and available.
