Disabled Senator, Make the Necessary Changes or Get Out!

From Facebook by Wheelchair Basketball President Pahang Chong Tuck Meng:

From Free Malaysia Today on disabled senator by Tuck Meng Chong: Kudos to government for appointment of a new senator especially from the other race and someone from wheelchair bound. 

I am not supporting any groups but personally I am in the opinion that the choice of the senator was totally wrong. 

They are a few Indian oku who are more vocal and who can stand on behalf of the oku rather than a yes-man to the government. 

It doesn't serve any purpose if someone who is going to listen to their boss rather than demanding the rights of the disabled. 

My challenge to the new senator, by the beginning of 2014 get the government to increase the monthly monetary aid to the severely bedridden who needs a fulltime care giver to get Rm 1000 and the adult disabled person to get Rm 500 and the disabled children to increase their current Rm 150 to Rm 300. 

Don't waste time on accessibility and job opportunity because the government knew all our grievances and woes. 

Its your duty to do just that before we move into other issues. You have mentioned in the press you have been serving the disabled for more than 30 years, may I ask what is your accomplishment. 

Make the changes or else get lost..... take up my challenge.
