IT WAS NO ORDINARY DAY ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2008.
Local history for the disabled and elderly residents in Petaling Jaya was created on that glorious morning.
G Francis Siva and I were one of the first to arrive. By quarter past eight in the morning the President of the Independent Living and Training Centre in Rawang and I had got down from our transport and were eagerly awaiting the events of the day to unfold.
So was my personal assistant Davidson Devadas.
On that morning, a first-ever sheltered disabled car park was installed in the headquarters of Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya in Jalan Yong Shook Lin in PJ.
The car park was launched by YB Ronnie Liu. It is a first of a total of 149 more to come in PJ that is expected to be completed by June 2009.
Stanislaus Anthony, (in bush jacket, top right) a walking difficulty PJ resident was among the more than a 100 guests who attended the event. He told PET+BLOGSPOT that whilst he is delighted with the provision of the car parks, he hopes to see every single one of them fitted with the rooftops.
Others at the event and pictured immediately above are: 1) S Gopalasingam and Sara Lew, committee members of Petpositive. 2) Lau Weng San, ADUN for Kampung Tunku with aNt 3) The VIPs at the event.
More on this story in words and pictures coming soon.
