Malaysian Disabled Persons Act
IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED!
Malaysia's first Disabled Persons Act is scheduled to be tabled in Parliament on Monday 10th December 2007.
However I am not at all optimistic; based on what little has been said about it so far, it will, it seems, just create another Department ('jobs for the boys'), and even more bureaucratic bottlenecks which the disabled have to negotiate.
It will in effect further disable the disabled.
What is needed is a comprehensive Disability Discrimination Act which outlaws all forms of discrimination against the disabled.
The Disable Persons Act which is to be tabled in Parliament on Monday, will, in all likelihood, be toothless and ineffective, in short it will be adding insult to the injury that all disabled persons face in Malaysia.
A step forward?

I hope I am wrong, let's wait and see.
it is not a disable person act it is not for the disable, but for the able bodies cause they form the council
