Disabled Members Protest
Disabled Members Protest at JPJ Wangsa Maju
ILTC Malaysia members staged a protest outside JPJ Wangsamaju KL.
Disabled group’s protest disabled drivers required to produce doc's medical report.
Last month, October 30, 2010, ILTC were invited to the World Hunger Relief Programme 2010 via a charity walk organized by KFC Holdings (M) Bhd.
Over 5,000 people turned up near the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya.
The charity walk themed ‘Be The Movement’, was the culmination of a fund-raising effort by KFC and Pizza Hut Malaysia, which helped to raise over RM1.5mil to assist the United Nations World Food programme.
Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin was the guest of honour at the charity walk.

Raja Nong Chik and Muhammad Ali later flagged off the 3km and 5km charity walk, and also a 40-tonne World Hunger Relief trailer to carry supplies and contributions to be distributed for hunger relief work in various parts of the world.
KFC Holdings (M) Bhd chairman Tan Sri Datuk Muhammad Ali Hashim also contributed to ILTC RM5000.00 under the corporate social responsibility.
KUALA LUMPUR: There has been no improvement in community-based rehabilitation (CBR) programmes for disabled persons despite RM64mil being allocated three years ago, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
She lamented that until now there was no specialised work to upgrade facilities for disabled people like many other Asia-Pacific countries.
She added that she would personally monitor the programmes from now on through monthly meetings with disabled development department directors and social welfare officers.
She would also oversee the economic empowerment programmes to tap the potential of disabled persons and ensure that CBR centre staff be trained to use new technology for communication to help the disabled.

Shahrizat said the CBR centres should be easily accessible to disabled persons and alternative communication for the disabled should be looked into in view of the IT era.
“I’m not happy. The CBR has yet to improve the disabled facilities despite the CBR transformation plan, which kicked off three years ago,” she told newsmen after closing the Asia Pacific Convention on CBR here yesterday.
Shahrizat also expressed disappointment with employers for not recruiting disabled persons and not providing disabled-friendly facilities for them.
“It is regrettable since Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s administration emphasises inclusiveness, disabled persons are not given their proper place,” she said.
Currently, there are 428 CBR centres nationwide with 1,654 workers handling 18,943 disabled persons.
On the proposal to introduce sex education to kindergarten children next year, Shahrizat said her ministry would have another round of meetings with Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The teaching modules and syllabus were already in place, but had yet to be finalised.
“Tan Sri Muhyiddin will make the announcement on the matter,” she said
