Jeanne visits paralympic team
By CELESTE FONG
BEIJING: Developers have been urged to design more disabled-friendly housing projects.
Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah, the wife of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who was touched by the disabled-friendly facilities she saw at the Paralympic Games Village here, said: “We should do more for the disabled.
“I hope schools will encourage and teach children to help (the disabled) if they see a disabled (person). We should change our mindset to be more caring,” she added.
Pointing at the disabled-friendly ATM machine booth, Jeanne said the facilities in the village showed the level of consideration for the disabled.
She was also awed by the spirit of the paralympians and the courage displayed by them, saying that Malaysians could emulate them.
“This is what we should be doing in our country,” she said, hoping that Malaysians could raise the level of consideration for the disabled.
Jeanne, the patron of the Malaysian Paralympic Council, was accompanied by Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Malaysian Ambassador to China Datuk Syed Norulzaman Kamarulzaman, Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Ab Hakim Borhan and National Sports Council director-general Datuk Zolkples Embong to the games village here.
On the Malaysian paralympians, Jeanne, who met them in the village, said Abdullah had conveyed his best wishes to them.
The Malaysian paralympians will begin their respective events today.
