JUST HEARD from Francis Siva of Iltc Malaysia
that the disabled senator met with the Welfare Minister this afternoon
to seriously discuss the unfair policy of yearly renewal of disability
allowance for all those who are eligible.
Francis had called up disabled
senator Bathmavathi Krishnan last week and warned her that if she did
not do anything about the issue within seven days, he would get the
disabled community to protest against all of them over the issue.
The
discrimination was first highlighted by
Francis and a group of disabled who protested about it during Deepavali
last year.
It was followed up by a meeting with the Welfare Minister who
had promised to do something about it. However, the incident reared its
ugly head again during Chinese New Year last month and highlighted by Law King Kiew.
Thank you Law for highlighting it personally to the director of the
special aid in Welfare and for Siva. Let's hope the issue will finally
be resolved.
