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.

Program Roadshow Ahli Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi OKU Bersama Komuniti Tempatan

There were 15 RoadShow were held over all states and federal territories on July 29 and 30, 2013, which was co-organized by MKBOKU and JKM.

The purpose of the roadshow was to collect concerns from People with Disabilities (PwD) to understand how they could form  actions to rectify the problems of the Communities in Malaysia. 

I attended two Roadshows in KL and Shah Alam. To my disappointment, I saw many PwD relies on the financial support from JKM heavily and therefore, I heard about money issues for almost 3 hours in KL, of course, some of them sought better improvement in the community and it was better when I heard different issues in Shah Alam, where they screamed for better improvement.
