The disabled wants change in gov't's welfare approach
Matters related to disabled persons are often confined to the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, the key body in charge of welfare, but a group has called for a much-needed change.
In terms of barrier-free mobility, Lee noted that despite an existing Uniform Building Bylaw 1986, enforcement was lacking to ensure compliance in terms of a universal design that takes into consideration access for persons with disabilities. "I would like to stress here is that MBPJ is in a good position today because the Pakatan Rakyat government decided to appoint a disabled councillor in MBPJ.
"I stay here in Old Town but if our appointment is at 9am or 10am, we have to leave the house at 6am."The security guards tell us to park at the top levels. How do they expect us to do that?"
