“…Moreover, a study conducted by Baharuddin and Ismail (2013) found that the elderly needs to be empowered spiritually, physically and mentally, followed by appointment as advisors to the younger generation with the aim of producing positive and successful intergenerational relationships (Mohamad et al, 2017).

Senior citizens are those in the age group of 60 years old and above who require attention and close care in reference to aspects such as motivation, accommodation, spirituality, emotional support system and security. At present, the development of websites in relation to senior citizens centers solely on features dealing with facilities, amenities and health. Hence, leaving out the critical spiritual/religious element that operates as lifeline of wellbeing for the elderly that is essential to produce a healthy group of elderly people who are spiritually sound based on religion. On this account, the study is dedicated to identify content and evaluate Muslim elderly care website from the perception of students. The case study began by identifying the selected Muslim elderly care website's content, followed by an online questionnaire by means of Google Forms to 60 respondents of Sunnah and Information Management Program students from Islamic Science University of Malaysia (USIM). Descriptive analysis was utilized for the data analysis process assisted by version 26 of IBM SPSS. The study's findings found that the website under observation has created five main menu sites namely: (i) Home, (ii) Definition, (iii) Islamic perspective, (iv) Abuse of the elderly and (v) Suggestion. Feedback gained have revealed that this platform has proven to be highly beneficial and suitable for the community as well as able to increase public awareness and understanding of elderly care from an Islamic perspective. Nevertheless, the website is lacking features like video and audio to draw users' interest to face the challenges of caring for the elderly in today's digital age; hence, stands in need of enhancement.

Objective: The population of the elderly in Malaysia increases every year. However, there is a lack of attention given to adults' attitudes towards the elderly in the country. This study aims to examine the attitudes of adults under the age of 60 towards the elderly in Malaysia. Methodology: The study involved 20 respondents who were interviewed in a focus group. The respondents were divided into four age groups, namely 18 to 29 years, 30 to 39 years, 40 to 49 years, and 50 to 59 years. Each group has five respondents. The interviews were conducted virtually via Webex online application. Each interview took about 1 to 2 hours. Results: Findings from the study showed that most respondents have positive, as opposed to negative, attitudes towards the elderly. The positive attitudes identified in this study are feelings of concern and affection for the elderly (affective), believing that the elderly should be respected (cognitive), and giving focus and attention to the elderly (behavioural). On the other hand, negative attitudes towards the elderly include being easily irritated and feeling stressed (affective), believing that the elderly have less mental and physical strengths (cognitive), and being rude to the elderly (behavioural). Conclusion: The positive attitudes of adults towards the elderly in Malaysia indicate that Malaysians still preserve the tradition of respecting the elderly, and do not marginalize them because of their age.
