Peace Rally

残障同胞和平请愿争取权益














1月2日的清晨,共130名残障人士和100名义工参与由马来西亚自立生活启发委员会发动的请愿活动。当天在联邦直辖区部政务次长拿督姚长禄的参与游行下,我们从甲洞美门残障康复中心出发,行驶2公里路程前往甲洞电动火车站。此项和平请愿活动除了希望得到政府关注,增设残障人士专用公共设施以外,主要目的是吁请大马铁道公司修改设计不当的斜坡,以及要求市政局提升甲洞卫星市行人走道。

另外,我们又分别于4月30日在霹雳安顺,7月16日在巴生进行相同的和平请愿活动。后者获得贸工部政务次长拿订巴杜卡陈仪乔的参与与支持。

In the morning of 2nd Jan, 130 disabled and 100 volunteers took part in the rally organized by the Malaysian Independent Living Group. This is to enhance the public transport facility for the disabled. The rally was at Kepong Baru market adjacent to Beautiful Gate Rehabilitation Centre, covering a distance of 2 km until Kepong KTM station. The purpose of this rally was to lobby for the need of the disable for the construction of public infrastructures that are accessible to the disabled by the relevant authorities. It is also to appeal to KTM to modify the existing ramp which is not suitable for the disabled and also appeal to DBKL to enhance the pedestrian path in Kepong Baru. On 30th of April, similar rally was also held in Teluk Intan, and 16th July held in Klang.
