More Flak for Disabled Senator

PETPOSITIVE NEWS!

DATELINE PARLIAMENT HOUSE:

MORE AND MORE disabled Malaysians are expressing their disbelief and disappointment over the appointment of Ms Bathmavathi Krishnan as disabled senator here yesterday.

Their main criticism of her is her poor record in advocating for and upholding disabilty rights.

"Not only have we never seen her participating in any of the critical demonstrations for disability rights but she has even contradicted the views of disabled advocates is support of the government of the day," said a wheelchair activist.

"The Government has found the perfect mouthpiece to justify their lackadaisical attitude towards the handicapped community in Malaysia in a disabled senator who is crippled with no grassroots support."
