We all grow old...












The AUTORR Foundation was founded by Yap Swee Lin, fondly known as Lin Chua - the grand-daughter of Malaya's last Chinese Kapitan, the late Kapitan Yap Kwan Seng.

The AUTORR Foundation Centre is built upon land donated by Lin. After observing an alarming trend that old folks spend a lot of time at home with very little physical and mental activities, Lin followed the philanthropic footsteps of her grandfather and initiated the project now known as the AUTORR (Aged Unite To Organize Rest & Recreation) Foundation.

The AUTORR Foundation Centre is a non-profit, non-racial and non religious place for the senior citizens to keep themselves occupied with fun-filled activities and to keep their social circles.

The AUTORR Foundation is NOT an Old Folks' Home. The AUTORR Foundation was founded based on the principal to provide senior citizens a communal and social place where they can go to for rest and recreation with their contemporaries.



The AUTORR Foundation Centre is an excellent place for the elders to meet new friends and have social interaction with their peers. Here at the AUTORR Foundation Centre, the elders can also learn new skills and  share their lifelong wealth of experience and  knowledge with their new-found friends and the younger generation.

"Restoring hope, Rediscovering life, In the Golden years."

  1. I am 65 years old, a KL resident and am glad to know of this Foundation's centre and its Founder's hitherto hard work. I shall pay a visit soon to see if I may be of some (voluntary) assistance.

    Well done, Lin-chey!

  2. Hi, I'm David Kan. I've visited your venue probably about almost 2yrs back and from then on I felt that this is a great project for a very noble cause.

    I'm in my early 50s, I would like to contribute in whatever way I can. Please contact me at davidkan3@gmail.com, otherwise I'd like to pay a visit to your venue again soon. Thanks. Keep up the great work!
