Get Your Wheelchair Ramps Right

From Anthony Siva Balan Thanasayan's Facebook:

BUILDING WHEELCHAIR RAMPS should be a priority for all local councils in the country. 

But do we build them right? Here is an example of a wheelchair ramp recently built by a local bank in Section 52 that wasn't built quite right.
 

I was able to spot the faults out and have informed the bank - as well as MBPJ to make the corrections accordingly. 

It appeared as if the wrong specifications were employed by the bank's contractors to make it difficult for wheelchair drivers to access.
