The Malay Mail on Pit Bull Bite, August 29, 2006

Letter: Dogs are victims too
-by Anthony Thanasayan, President, Petpositive -

Dear Editor,
WE strongly regret the incident where a man was bitten in the leg by a pit bull terrier at a workshop in Kuala Lumpur.


Dog owners have an obligation to ensure that their pets pose no threat to the public.

They must be conscientious and stringent about where and how they keep their dogs.

Canines with a strong tendency to be protective of their masters should be managed with extra care, especially when people unfamiliar to the animals are around.

Overly aggressive dogs require therapy and training.

Contrary to some opinion, pit bull terriers should not be classified in any ‘banned breeds list’.

They are not only regarded in many countries as wonderful family companions but some groups have even set up rescue and rehabilitation services for such dogs – with tremendous success.

Pit bulls, however, are not for everyone. They require owners who are intelligent, responsible, dedicated and understanding.

In every case of a dog attack, dogs are as much victims as the humans they turn on. Pit bulls are no exception.

The Government should review the ‘banned dogs list’ and remove pit bulls from the list.

As for the pit bull that bit the man, the Veterinary Services Department should try and rehabilitate the dog and only euthanise it when there is no other choice.

The blind get little help

According to your report, the deputy minister almost immediately came across a passer-by who “helped” him cross the road.

With all due respect to the deputy minister and his well-meant “Courtesy and Noble Values” campaign, our members and many of the visually impaired people that we encounter have painted a different picture and reality about Kuala Lumpur.

They say Kuala Lumpur, in particular, is not what it used to be five or 10 years ago.

They seem to come across an increasing number of sighted people these days who have no time for them and are apathetic towards their needs.

There was a time when the blind would only have to wait a second or two at a junction before someone would come by and ask: “Would you like help?”

In the recent past, the blind could rely on the sighted to help them find the right bus to board.

Taxis do not stop for the visually impaired. Those that do take a “longer route”

to their destinations and make them cough up a hefty fare.

There are others who are afraid to touch the blind. They hold on to the far end of their white canes or the sleeves of the blind men’s shirts or even use their fingertips to “push” the blind forward and “pull” them across the road as if the blind were on a leash.

The dignified way to lead the blind, of course, is to allow him to hold the elbow of the sighted guide.

We believe these issues are not so much about being a “rude” or “friendly” society but rather about being sensitive to the needs of the handicapped.

Such sensitivity can only be instilled through understanding. Knowledge breaks prejudice.

One of the best ways to achieve awareness about the disabled is by carrying courtesy messages through television and radio.

The Government should invite the blind themselves to tell their stories and be featured in such community message services.



ANTHONY THANASAYAN,President, Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and Elderly Association,Kuala Lumpur.

PM sincere in helping the disabled

THE call by our Prime Minister to offer training programmes for the disabled in order to help them live and work as normal people is sweet music to all disabled Malaysians. (The Star, July 27)

The fact that the Prime Minister chose to attend a welfare event at Bangi (where he issued his call) at a time when the 39th Asean Ministerial Meeting was taking place speaks volumes about our Prime Minister’s sincerity and commitment to the disabled in Malaysia.

The PM’s remark that “the disabled can become productive people like any of us” is a reminder to all Malaysians not to regard handicapping conditions as barriers to employment and full participation in our society.

His way of viewing the disabled – “people like any (one) of us” – is the first and most effective step for us to follow in breaking down any personal prejudices and phobias towards the handicapped community.

Being trained in special skills will arm Malaysians with disabilities with the necessary qualifications to successfully secure jobs.

It will help would-be employers to have more confidence in the capabilities of persons who are challenged physically, mentally, hearing and visually.

Training centres should also consider providing extra coaching for the handicapped as many of them lack the opportunity to build their personal social skills because they are, more often than not, out of the public eye.

Counsellors in training centres should also bear this in mind when working with disabled trainees.



ANTHONY THANASAYAN,

President, Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and Elderly Association.

Monorail, bullet train should be disabled-friendly
Anthony Thanasayan
Aug 11, 06 3:12pm




We refer to the media reports that there will be another new monorail system in Penang and that Malaysia is considering installing a bullet train between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

Whilst Petpositive is very pleased to learn that people in Penang will soon be able to enjoy such facilities, we would like to point out that it is extremely essential that every effort be made by the relevant bodies to make the monorail disabled and elderly-friendly.

We regret to note that despite the many promises, the monorail in Kuala Lumpur - a newly constructed service - turned out to be a huge disappointment for not being accessible to Malaysians in wheelchairs and others with walking difficulties.

Lack of access to public transportation remains - to this day - the single most neglected major concern and problem for disabled persons throughout Malaysia. It will make the disabled lag even further behind if nothing is done about it.

Without being able to travel from one place to another, the handicapped and elderly cannot really progress and stay productive in our society.

No amount of good intentions or willing employers can help them if they cannot hold on to their jobs for long due to the lack of convenient and affordable public transport which monorails, light rail transits, buses, and even bullet trains can provide.

I had my first bullet train ride in my wheelchair 14 years ago in one of the fastest trains in the world in Japan. It was fully equipped with handicapped friendly features complete with staff on hand to assist the disabled.

Moving into the next generation of an older populace is another real, valid and urgent reason to remove all barriers and seriously consider installing people-friendly designs.

Ergonomic engineers must face up to the challenge of coming up with well-tested facilities that can accommodate seniors with reduced vision and senses to help them have access to public transport so that they are able to remain independent as long as possible.

Medical and health experts predict disabilities will be more common among the elderly as they undergo physiological and psychological changes in their lives. Paralysis can also occur through common health problems such as diabetes, stroke, arthritis, heart attacks, etc.

If we don’t do the needful now to conscientiously include all persons in our nation-building plans, what are we going to do in a situation in the near future when we discover that their numbers have significantly increased?

Pets can help reduce suicides
10 Aug 2006
ANTHONY THANASAYAN, PresidentMalaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and Elderly Association (Petpositive) Kuala Lumpur


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE welcome the recent open discussions on suicide — its causes and how to prevent it — in the media.

We believe that one of the best ways to address and overcome this usually taboo topic in our society is when more people talk about it and bring it out into the open.

As a newly-registered society which firmly believes in the power of meaningful companionship with animals for a higher quality of life and positive living, we would like to suggest animal-assisted therapy as a stress and depression- buster.

The bond between humans and other animals has untold benefits, especially among the disabled and elderly.

Animals have assisted humans profoundly in improving a patient’s cognitive or physical functions.

They have enhanced a person’s sense of well-being and reduced loneliness.

Proximity with animals, such as caring for them, helps to bring about positive reinforcement in people’s lives.

We know of the elderly and disabled who through their successful partnerships with their pets now have less need for medication.

They have much calmer personalities and have managed to control the urge to take their own lives.

Bonding with pets has also helped pet-lovers achieve other goals such as improving communication, building trust, decreasing stress and anxiety, and, perhaps most important of all, motivating themselves.

All these are some of the negative factors that drive people to suicide.

Pets are also inexpensive and more accessible to everyone.

Having said all these, those considering taking on a pet must realise that keeping an animal is a lifetime responsibility to the pet, neighbours and the laws that govern pet-keeping.

Thai AirAsia’s disabled policy discriminatory
Anthony Thanasayan
Aug 4, 06 3:14pm




We refer to the news report about how Thai AirAsia is refusing to allow handicapped passengers to fly unaccompanied on flights in Thailand. (Blind and disabled passengers can't fly alone on Thai AirAsia).

PetPositive feels the reason given by Southeast Asia's largest low-cost carrier that the airline does not have ground staff to help the blind, deaf and other disabled passengers is nothing but discriminatory and totally unacceptable.

Not providing services for its disabled passengers is not only an extremely weak excuse by Thai AirAsia, but is also an attempt by the airline company to shirk its responsibilities of providing quality service for all passengers, in this case, patrons with disabilities.

The policy reflects on the total lack of understanding of AirAsia about disabled people. It is attitudes like these that make us suffer as disabled persons; not our handicapping conditions.

What next? People above the age of 55, breast cancer survivors, people who have high blood pressure, asthma, vertigo, those who require dialysis treatment, etc, will also have to have someone to accompany them or else they will not be able to fly?

Do people with disabilities actually have helpers and friends like this at their disposal at all times who will be willing to cancel everything they are doing and hop into a plane with them? And who is going to pay for their tickets, stay, food, etc?

It is attitudes and actions like that of Thai AirAsia's chief executive officer, Tassapon Bijleveld in defending the company’s policy, that stymies and thwarts every good effort made and done by the many good people in our society to fully integrated disabled persons as equal citizens in our societies.

AirAsia, please go forward, not backwards.

Firms have role to help the disadvantaged

THE Prime Minister’s call for big companies to do more for the needy, “Caring and giving” (Sunday Star, July 30) has our full support.

The corporate sector can play a pivotal role in improving the lives of the disadvantaged, especially the disabled and elderly citizens in our country.

Malaysians with disabilities and the elderly stand to benefit a great deal if big companies intervene from time to time to help alleviate the hardships they face through donations in cash or kind.

Making it a point to provide wheelchairs, computers and other necessities to the needy or even inviting them to participate in some of these companies' entertainment and social activities will go a long way to raising social awareness about such vulnerable groups, which are often “forgotten people” in our society.

Other areas or services could be the setting-up of free healthcare clinics for the elderly and providing transport and social outings for the infirm.

Making telecommunication easy and completely affordable for disabled subscribers so that they can “meet and talk” with the “outside” world is another great help.

The Government alone cannot be expected to do everything to make a difference for the underprivileged. We need the indispensable support of the private sector.

Caring gestures from corporate organisations will also benefit the organisations themselves by enhancing their public image as establishments which are always mindful of their social obligations.

We should all take the cue from the Prime Minister's late wife Datin Paduka Seri Endon Mahmood.

Despite her illness and suffering, she always strived to give hope to people who needed help the most.
