As shown in Chart 24, 88 percent of the overall survey respondents agreed that these strategies are able to solve the elders’ housing issues and potentially to be the future housing plan in Malaysia
            Furthermore, as shown in Chart 25, there is also 72 percent of overall survey respondents who will consider to move to this multi-generational residence completed with the proposed strategies and solutions.
