How to promote accessibility?

Is it worth to identify who is actually ableist and/or classist?

How come these words exist if your answer is "no"?

I could say either yes or no as I have my own opinion and you have different opinion. That is important for a good debate.

In our life, we know what we are doing, however, we often forget that what we can do is our privilege that some other people who are not able to do, therefore, they were being marginalized. They remain silent until it is hard to recognize their needs.

They are human like us, too. They have curiosity too. They are thirsty to gain more information. However, they sometimes could not overcome the barriers they encounter. They definitely need someone to help them to break the barriers. You see, you did not notice it because you are able to access what you want. You see, too if you could not access what you want to have.

Shall we perform bimization for academic level?

The status of Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (Malaysian Sign Language) BIM is not actually recognized fully in Malaysia.

A simple explanation I could say is that BIM is not recognized in the Constitution of Malaysia, like New Zealand Sign Language and Kenyan Sign Language are both recognized in the Constitution of their countries, which marking them as one of the country's official languages.
