As members of the public, we are deeply concerned that Persons with Disabilities and their Families continue to face many problems and hardships in their daily lives such as living in poverty, finding appropriate education, using public transport which is not disabled friendly, facing physical barriers everywhere in the built environment and social and economic barriers when applying for jobs, bank accounts, insurance protection, etc. They will continue to be discriminated and prevented from participating fully in society if we do not have laws to protect their basic human rights and well-being. Therefore, we, the undersigned, demand that: a Persons with Disabilities Act be passed in year 2003; (for detail please go to: http://www.dsapenang.org/Disability%20act%20first%20page.htm) active steps be taken to ensure the full participation and equality of people with disabilities. We support the disabled persons and their families' rights to live full and meaningful lives without discrimination. Name: I.C./Passport No.: Note: A copy of this letter will be sent to the Hon. Prime Minister, Hon. Deputy Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers and Members of Parliament.
