Rodziah Ismail And The Disabled
QUICK COMMENT: PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES have always been campaigning for their right to be included in matters involving them.
Last Thursday, seven representatives from two well-known societies for the disabled (and the elderly) met up with the newly appointed Selangor welfare, women’s affairs, science, technology and innovation committee chairman Rodziah Ismail to highlight their concerns.
The one-hour meeting held in Shah Alam was initiated by Petpositive and coordinated by the Independent Living and Training Centre (ILTC) in Rawang, Selangor.
Raising the awareness of the disabled and elderly among local councils is one of the objectives of Petpositive.
We also highlighted the usefulness of animal-assisted therapy for handicapped and elderly people to YB Rodziah Ismail.
She was very receptive to the idea and pointed out to us that she had several cats of her own which play a therapeutic role in her life.
Petpositive was represented by Anthony Thanasayan and Captain Abdul Karim Stuart Russell.
From the ILTC were Francis Siva (president), Gurdip Kaur (secretary), and three other members.
Immediately after our meeting, Star reporter Jade Chan conducted her interview with the YB.
Here is her report that came out on StarMetro on Saturday:
