What? Sue you guys in wheelchairs? Come on! Where is the "turn the other cheek" teaching of Jesus Christ?
Mr Lee is a hypocrite of the first degree.
He is not fit to run Beautiful Gate with such an attitude.

Breaking News - Part 3
Hi Folks
I regret to inform you all that today at 11.45am that I received a warning telephone call from Mr. Edward S. F. Lee, the Operation Manager of Beautiful Gate Foundation.
He demanded that I withdraw from this blog the following statement he made in the 3rd paragraph of our post yesterday which reads:
"During the discussion, Mr. Edward S. F. Lee honestly told us the truth about Pastor Sia and her team had involved in tarnishing and destroying the ILTC. He feel very sorry for what has happened towards ILTC."
Mr Lee is now denying his statement that Sia Siew Chin had admitted being involved in Kogilavany's police report against us.
He claimed in his own words that the ILTC was trying to make him a "sucker" in the issue.
He has even threatened a legal suit against our centre if we did not retract our statement.
With such an attitude, we at ILTC have totally lost our confidence in Mr Lee that he will be able to carry out an unbiased and fair investigation over the matter.
We have no choice but to doubt Mr Lee's sincerity in wanting to help us at all. He even told me on the phone that unless I withdrew the statement, the investigation will be ceased.
I pointed out to Mr Lee that if he is feeling upset by what is happening so far, imagine how WE FELT when such an scurrilous attack was launched against us by Sia who is supposed to be a pastor of a church, a communion distributor and an award-winner for the disabled.
So much for honour and religious sincerity!
Our only hope for justice is now in the hands of the Rev Hwa Yung, the honourable Bishop of the Methodist Church of Malaysia.
We expect to meet him in the next few days. We have requested for an urgent meeting to resolve this matter.
We understand that he is away at the moment and due to arrive in KL soon.
We will keep you all updated on the latest developments.
Thamk you,
Mr. G. Francis
President of ILTC

I am shocked by all the latest developments in your blog regarding Beautiful Gate and your organisation.
As a regular contributor to B Gate, I will now reconsider any donations that I give to the organisation.
I am most shocked by Mr Lee's response to the issue. Rather than take action for B Gate's responsibility and apologise, he is trying to find fault with your comments.
This is most unchristian, to say the least.

I am shocked that A pastor who runs a disable home finding fault on another disable home is this what a person close to god should do.
Pastor if i am not wrong you won the best disable person award and you should be a shinning example to all the other disable person, sad to say that as a pastor and an award winner you have made us the disable very shameful.

I AM pleased to report that I have successfully lasted more than a month as a councillor for Petaling Jaya, where I have lived for nearly four decades.
I must confess I was pretty edgy at first. Who wouldn’t be when one considers the kind of responsibilities such a task entails?
My first and daily challenge is in getting dressed for the various events organised by the PJ Municipal Council (MBPJ).
The dress code requires councillors to use lounge suits for official meetings, batik for dinner and social evenings, and casual attire for outdoor and sporting events.
Those with physical disabilities will know how painstaking this task can be. Paralysed legs are like concrete slabs when you have to lift them up and bend them to fit into your trousers.
Fortunately, my service dogs help to lighten the load. They do their bit by taking turns to tug at my clothes and fetch my shoes, along with other tasks.
I am also a very lucky councillor because the MBPJ disabled-friendly van arrives at my doorstep to fetch me to all the council meetings and functions I have to attend.
Getting in and out of my wheelchair and into a car can be exhausting, especially when there are no assistants. The van has a lift to lift my wheelchair into the vehicle.
During meetings, I have the privilege of being surrounded by VIPs eager to help me. Last week, I asked a gentleman to help bring a glass of water into our boardroom, only to realise shortly afterwards that he was a Member of Parliament.
In addition to taking care of my zone which is made up of Sections 6, 7, 9 and 52, I have requested to be in charge of two projects close to my heart.
They involve the disabled and animals, namely dogs. I will head a committee involving NGOs like the SPCA to promote responsible pet ownership (RPO) among PJ residents.
If everything goes well, both animal lovers, as well as those peeved by their presence because of irresponsible pet owners, can look forward to awareness campaigns on RPO.
Expect MBPJ to get tough on pet lovers who pay no regard to their neighbours’ complaints of the misbehaviour of their dogs, too.
In view of the therapeutic role that canines offer to the disabled and elderly, these folks can expect full licence waivers for their pets.
Disabled and elderly residents in Section 10 who have been barred access into Taman Jaya because of a locked gate that has been there for several years, will now be able to enter the park to enjoy the greenery and fresh air there, like other residents.
MBPJ’s landscape department will soon be adding two entrances for the disabled to access the park. Expect to see more disabled-friendly changes taking place in PJ in the near future. These include disabled-friendly car parks, accessible pavements, wheelchair-friendly toilets, registration of PJ residents with handicaps, hospital visits and even possible welfare aid.

Disabled faced with insurance dilemma

Disabled faced with insurance dilemma
By LOONG MENG YEE
DESPITE being healthy and financially stable with his own multimedia design firm, G. Danny, 34, is unable to get any medical insurance cover.
Over the phone, the sales agents are eager to sign him up, that is until they see that he is wheelchair- bound.
Danny is not alone in his predicament. Many other disabled people like him are unable to buy medical insurance as they are considered “high risk”.
“It is unfair. Apart from sitting in a wheelchair, I am perfectly healthy. I told the insurance agents I can produce medical reports certifying so, and that my cholesterol level was also low. But the agents do not want to sign me up,’’ he added.
Danny even tried to buy investment- linked insurance, but failed again.
The dilemma faced by the disabled in buying medical insurance was among the items on the agenda of a roundtable discussion at the 3rd Bakti-Mind Conference in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
Bakti (the Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers) had set up the Malaysian Information Network on Disabilities (Bakti-Mind) project three years ago to empower and promote the quality of life of the disabled.
The 3rd Bakti-Mind project, themed Empowering persons with disabilities (PWD) through information provision and management, began on Thursday and will end today .
Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali is the conference adviser, the organising chairman is Toh Puan Dr Aishah Ong, with Datuk Noorhayathi Kamaluddin as secretary and Datin Seri Wendy Ong as treasurer.
Danny participated in the roundtable discussion and related his frustration to a group of people who included representatives from the Life Association of Insurance Malaysia (LIAM).
The LIAM representatives said the association was keen to find out the needs of the disabled.
Another round of talks is scheduled for November, and by then, Danny hoped LIAM could offer him some packages, instead of closing the door on him - yet again.
