Fondly remembered as a humble, pleasant, and approachable gentleman, the late Raja Tun Mohar left behind a legacy of integrity, positivism, sacrifice and dedication - virtues that the programme seeks to instill in its participants. It is in memory of the late Raja Tun Mohar's gentle and noble ways that the Raja Mohar Life Enrichment Awards Programme (MIM-RAMLEA) is created.

The MIM-Raja Mohar Life Enrichment Awards Programme (MIM-RAMLEA)

There are some people who have worked hard throughout their career looking forward to retirement as a time to indulge themselves in activities that they have missed out in their earlier adult life. Then, there are those who dread retirement because they have too much time in hand and do not know what to do. Senior citizens only need to look and they will discover the countless areas that they can actively contribute towards. Although no longer gainfully employed, they should continue to keep living rather than merely existing, making life challenging while setting fresh priorities and goals. Psychological researches have shown that specific forms of human intelligence actually increase, as people grow older.

The MIM-RAMLEA hopes to revive this "crystallised intelligence" and introduce the concept of "mutual dependence" where participants explore the dynamics between "giving" and "receiving", between being needed and being needy. It is an all expenses-paid residential programme, aimed at enabling retiring or retired individuals find purpose and activity in the golden years of their lives. The programme will expose participants to talks, readings, discussions, visitations and reflections that will help them rediscover themselves and the society around them. They will not only find purpose and direction, but also participate in activities as well as build rewarding relationships. It is hoped that from this experience, participants will find renewed purpose, enrichment and play a more active role in community development programmes putting their wealth of knowledge and experience to good use while continuing to create value in society.
