PJ to be disabled friendly from now on
By Pauline Almeida August 15, 2008 Categories: Your Council.
As of this month, new buildings that need approval for construction have to meet the Technical Committee for the Facilities for the Disabled requirements — that they have lifts, ramps and toilets designed for people with special needs.
Though the committee’s request had been made two years ago, it is being given focus after some disabled members were elected as PJ councillors this year, including activist for the diabled, Anthony Sivabalan Thansayan.
"Back then (2006), nobody bothered. But now we are more serious, that new buildings have facilities for the disabled," said PJ planning and development director Sharipah Marhaini Syed Ali yesterday.
Sharipah said the requirements were in line with the local council’s Building By-Laws for the Disabled, therefore applications to put up new buildings would only be approved if they fulfil the obligations towards people with special needs.
To date, some 15 applications from developers and architects to put up offices and shoplots in Petaling Jaya are being vetted by this technical committee to ensure developers and architects incorporate disabled-friendly features in their layout plans.
"If they fail to adhere to our criteria, then the building owners will be required to amend building plans to get approval for construction," said Marhaini.

SOME good news for the disabled in Petaling Jaya. From November, there will be 150 sheltered car parks at various public parking lots around Petaling Jaya for the use of the disabled and people with special needs.
The council will provide a logo for people with special needs and their care-givers that are valid for life.
Those suffering from temporary disabilities due to accidents or falls can apply for the logo for a certain period.
"They will be required to renew it on a monthly basis to ensure it is used for the right purpose," said Anthony Sivabalan Thanasayan, a member of the council’s Technical Committee for the Facilities for the Disabled and the Elderly and a city councillor, who has agreed to use his councillor’s half-yearly allocation of RM50,000 towards addressing the needs of the disabled.

Only 50 out of 10,000 jobs snapped up by disabled
By NG CHENG YEEand NATALIE STONEHAM
KUALA LUMPUR: Only 50 disabled people have applied for the 10,000 jobs made available in the public sector, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen.
“All kinds of jobs were available, from rank and file such as office boys to management level, but unfortunately, there have been few takers.
“The Government needed to find out why the disabled group had been reluctant to take up the jobs,” she said Thursday after chairing the first meeting of the National Council for People With Disabilities here.
The Government has set as a policy to reserve 1% or 10,000 jobs for the disabled in the public sector as a measure to integrate the disabled into mainstream society.
Dr Ng called on the disabled community to be responsive to the job applications. She said the Government would try its best to overcome obstacles that the disabled faced in the work place.
“They should not have the negative thinking but instead they should apply for the jobs first and let us know what obstacles they are going to face if they take up the jobs.
“If there are more people coming forward to apply for the jobs, we (the Government) might consider arranging the transport for them, including getting buses to go around Putrajaya,” she said.
“I have mentioned it many times in the newspaper about the vacancies available. You (disabled people) cannot just expect us to knock on your doors and inform you about the opportunities,” she said.
