Ageing is a multifaceted issue, covering various aspects, e.g. economics, politics, healthcare among others. As Malaysia rapidly moves towards being an ageing population, the issue should be tackled collaboratively. Professor Tengku Aizan Hamid is an ASM Fellow that is working towards building up a solid knowledge base to help the country cope well with the ageing phenomenon. According to Professor Dr Tengku Aizan, her field of research includes courses "from womb to tomb" - of which her specialisation focuses on the "tomb" part. Her interest in human development and family studies, specifically gerontology, stemmed from her study in family communications, and how it relates to the senior citizens. Seeing that this is quite a brand-new subject, she dived deep into understanding the multifaceted topic of an ageing population. Being a pioneer in this field, she remembers having to do the bulk of research area expansion, because it was a relatively brand-new subject in Malaysia at the time. She needed to collect basic information on the ageing situation and how it relates to various life aspects. With that, she considers herself lucky to be able to study multiple fields in pursuit of understanding ageing better - be it economics, politics, even architecture. In recent years, Professor Tengku Aizan has seen a boom in the number of researchers interested in this field, considering Malaysia's increasingly ageing population and the pressing need to understand the effects of this phenomenon to Malaysia's development. She is happy for this boom because ageing is a life experience and there are many factors that will determine someone's experience of ageing. Therefore, she welcomes the influx of dedicated researchers from various fields to contribute towards a better
