KUALA LUMPUR: Curbing scams against senior citizens should be a joint effort by the government, the business sector, communities and individuals, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye .
"It should also make it mandatory for retail and other outlets to continue allowing traditional methods of payments even as they embrace digital currency," the Alliance for a Safe Community chairman said on Friday . Lee suggested that community centres and NGOs hold regular workshops to educate senior citizens on the new tactics used by scammers, teach them digital literacy, and how to tell genuine platforms from fake sites.
"Traditional media and digital platforms could also be used to disseminate information about the latest scams and how to avoid them," he suggested.
