On July 5, 2010, I have visited at Pejabat Kebajikan Masyarakat Daerah Hulu Selangor at 2.30pm. I am wheelchair-bound and have to faced many obstacle before enter to JKM office.
At firstly, I have noticed that, the signboards indicating parking for disabled people was not organized properly. Parking space for disabled people not suitable and it was occupied by able bodied vehicles. The JKM must also ensure that these facilities are used only by people with disabilities.
Secondly, the outdoor ramp should be build with proper diameter of the correct gradient and also constructing buildings and providing public facilities that were universal. On the day, my volunteer not be able to assist me alone to get to the building were by way of steep ramp (Killer Ramp).
She had encounter problems to push forwards and we call for another assistance to help us.
The gradient was too steep and very dangerous for wheelchair users.
The ramp does not comply with MS 1184. There were specifications that must be complied with when facilities for the disabled are provided such as handrails for ramps.
After studying the situation in JKM Hulu Selangor, I did not think the ministry or authorities were serious when it came to ensuring that these specifications were adhered to.
Even in the JKM office there was no accessible toilets for the disabled.
Here I would like to suggest that, if you build and provide a ramp, build one that is for everybody.
TOILETS for the disabled. I have noticed that, there were also toilets not for the disabled which had going to turn into storerooms because the managements where these toilets are located think not many people use them

ILTC protes isu layanan OKU
ILTC protes isu layanan OKU
KUALA LANGAT– Tindakan kakitangan sebuah pasaraya yang membuat pemeriksaan tanpa kebenaran terhadap salah seorang orang kurang upaya (OKU) yang disyaki mencuri barang di pasaraya berkenaan menimbulkan rasa tidak puas hati 20 ahli OKU dari Badan Latihan dan Hidup Berdikari (ILTC) di sini.
Presiden ILTC, Francis Siva berkata, pihaknya terpanggil untuk turun padang dan membuat bantahan secara aman kerana tindakan itu adalah kali pertama berlaku di pasaraya yang tidak mengamalkan sikap prihatin terhadap golongan OKU.
Menurutnya, pasaraya yang mempunyai perkhidmatan kepada setiap pelanggan perlu meningkatkan tahap keprihatinan mereka terutamanya kepada golongan OKU tanpa membezakan sifat fizikal seorang individu tersebut.
“Selain itu, kita tidak mahu golongan OKU dilabelkan sebagai pencuri apabila berada di dalam pasaraya memandangkan kebanyakan OKU yang berkerusi roda tidak dapat mencapai kebanyakan barangan yang dipamerkan di pasaraya.
“Selain itu, tindakan kakitangan pasaraya berkenaan turut mempamerkan sikap tidak profesional apabila memalukan OKU dengan membuat pemeriksaan secara terbuka dengan disaksikan beramai-ramai oleh pengunjung pasaraya berkenaan,” katanya yang mengetuai bantahan di hadapan pasaraya terbabit, semalam.
