Shahrizat: Show the blind some respect
KUALA LUMPUR: Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil will sit with City Hall to discuss how to tackle the issue of petty traders taking up walkways in front of shop lots in Brickfields, a norm when Deepavali is just around the corner.
"City Hall must take necessary action on this matter and we will inform them about this," she said.
Shahrizat expressed her disappointment with Malaysians when it comes to respecting the disabled community.
"It is important everybody is aware of this. Traders cannot do this. That's why advocacy is important. I am disappointed Malaysians are not considerate enough about the disabled.
"Ordinary citizens must have respect and consideration for the disabled as we want to be a barrier-free country.
"There needs to be more advocacy and awareness. Mindsets must change."
