MORE DISABLED-FRIENDLY FACILITIES REQUIRED

"RapidKL has more than 100 buses with the OKU logo. Although there are ramps for wheelchairs, the operators do not use them and that attitude causes the disabled to be sidelined from using the public transportation system,"
"RapidKL buses, which are not disabled-friendly although there are signages in the buses which appear to be friendly to the less fortunate".

This is an example about specialty issues of disabled people in Malaysia. We are already achieved independence for 51 years, but why these issues still running out?
Disability is lack of ability relative to a personal or group standard or
spectrum. Disability may involve physical impairment, sensory impairment, cognitive or intellectual impairment, mental disorder (also known as psychiatric disability), or various types of chronic disease
As a normal people, we should give them a priority in what ever conditions we faced.Remember that disabled people also a human being like us! So, please respect them Malaysian.
