Madam Basrai was one of 300,000 seniors lauded for their efforts to learn how to go digital during the pandemic. Speaking virtually at the event on Thursday , Parliamentary Secretary for Health Rahayu Mahzam said:"It's heartening to know that more seniors have developed increased receptivity to digital initiatives amidst the Covid-19 situation.Lifelong learning and adapting to the digital world is important, said Fei Yue Community Services, one of the 86 organisations lauded at the appreciation event.

Mr Sammy How, senior manager and head of the elder education department at Fei Yue's Family Central, said:"Seniors did not believe that it was possible for online learning to be effective, especially for those attending beginner courses. It was hard for them to adapt since most seniors are not digital natives."
