What is Glammas?
“Glamma” (noun): A glamorous grandmother who is too young to be called Grandma. One who lives with poise, purpose, and unapologetic style.
In 2024, at the vibrant heart of Penang, the Glammas emerged from a singular vision: to prove that ageing is not a decline, but a peak of influence and vitality.
Under the leadership of Mdm Baby Goh, we challenge the conventional “silver years” narrative. We are not just retirees; we are creators, mentors, and activists contributing to the Penang2030 vision for a resilient and vibrant community.
Our mission is to empower women to lead active, meaningful lives while serving as visible symbols of modern maturity in Southeast Asia.
