MEMORANDUM OF PROTEST

On 4.3.2010, Mr. Karuppannan S/O Veeramalai is wheelchair-bound was harshly assaulted and verbal attacked by KTMB Commuter Driver due to a verbal confrontation for disabled parking lot. He had made a police report at Subang Jaya (No. Report : Subang Jaya/001864/10) against KTMB Commuter Driver to get protection.

In fact, after the incident happened on March 4, the police have not got back to us. We want justice to be served.

There have been no action to be taken against attacker who treated the disabled unlawfully attacked since and this is unacceptable on human dignity and discrimination against a disabled person.

We Disabled community in Malaysia has always worked towards helping all disabled persons achieve independence and to lead a fulfilled and complete life. The Disabled have never asked for pity or sympathy. We only ask for equal opportunities to fully participate in the life of our nation, just like able-bodied citizens.

However, we the Disabled cannot and will not tolerate, in assaulted, insults and mockery directed or in directed at them; these kinds of behaviour are nothing but an attempt to isolate and relegate the disabled to the fringes of society.

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, DEMAND:

A) TO CALL FOR SERIOUS ACTION TO BE TAKEN AGAINST THE COMMUTER DRIVER AT STATION KTMB SUBANG JAYA FOR ATTACKING THE MR. KARUPPANNAN AND ALSO ATTEMPTING TO INJURE A DISABLED PERSON.

B) TO CALL UPON THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE TO INVESTIGATE AGAINST THE UNLAWFUL ACT OF THE KTMB OFFICERS AGAINST THE DISABLED.

C) TO DEMAND THAT THE RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF ALL DISABLED PERSONS MUST BE RESPECTED AND PROTECTED, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE TO MAKE A LIVING AT ALL TIMES.

The disabled are targeted by criminals

CRIMINALS are coming up with more devious ways to rob unsuspecting victims. What is more troubling is that they have no qualms about targeting the disabled and the elderly.

It is regrettable that the handicapped are becoming targets of criminals because we are considered easy prey,

Here are some of the suggestions made by the ILTC:

• The crime fighting force +
• Should be better educated about the needs of the handicapped.
• Set up special hotlines for the disabled and the elderly so that they can get immediate response when they are in trouble.

• When the police make their rounds in the neighbourhood, they should take a special interest in homes where people with disabilities live, especially those who live alone.

ENDORSED BY:

1) INDEPENDENT LIVING & TRAINING CENTRE (ILTC)

2) MALAYSIAN ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY FOR THE DISABLED AND ELDERLY ASSOCIATION (Petpositive)

You say you want to be treated equally but when people rob and steal your things you say "how can people do such thing to people like us"? make up your minds! You people annoy me, what do you expect? You are disabled, life is going to be hard, thus the word DIABLED!!! Get use to it, you makwe up a small percentage with very little return, work harder and stop complaining. Plus you get to ride on wheelchairs.how cool.
