2) Xiaxue has become pretty much a public figure to some extend, where her opinions may influence others.

Point 1) is something disabled people has always been deprieved of their rights. It’s as good as saying, all toilets are for male only. Females pee wherever. Disabled people and abled people have fight for that right and that right has been recognized. It’s not a previlege. The spacy toilet, it’s a necessity.

And then, we have Xiaxue (point 2)) blogging about toilets for the disabled. The impression is that, she’s questioning the right. What PTan did, being proactive in this issue is, like what some women had done in the past, demanding rights; what rose did in the bus stop.

And to XX’s fan, and like what suanie said, XX is also doing underhand work by editing OUT bad comments from her blog. Please realize that.

So before you ask a stupid question like “I don’t know why people are bringing in religion to this”, might I suggest that you use your brain and understand that for many people, religion doesn’t divorce itself easily from one’s actions, public or private. If he declares his religion as openly as he does, then he opens himself to judgement based on it. If he can’t deal with it, or you can’t, well boo-fucking-hoo.

He also doesn’t seem to have a problem with himself making disparaging remarks about Xiaxue. Should I start taking his comment about menses running down her legs out of context and scream “oh my fucking god he’s being sexist!!!! I’m going to tell the Malaysian press all about it and make sure he gets what’s coming to him!” Because that’s the equivalent of what he did.

“Opinions are opinions”

Good, then go and tell this to the Singapore court about the two convicted bloggers that their remarks about the other race were just OPINIONS and hey, “opinions are opinions”! Pffft.

“How come people have this notion that only the disabled can use facilities for the disabled?”

” … our government spent millions of taxpayers’ money to build so many facilities for the physically disabled, and only they are allowed to use it?”

“My inconvenience for waiting for other toilets plus my liking for big spaces”

We are into these ridiculous hypothetical examples again huh? About what food poisoning and period dribbling down her thighs? All the WHAT IFs to justify her irresposible comments huh? Why don’t you think of these WHAT IFs:

So WHAT IF not one but ten, twenty, thirty, or even everyone who doesn’t have an disability regard the accessible toilet as just another normal toilet because they all think “how come people have this notion that only the disabled can use facilities for the disabled?”? Then what will be the odds that the accessible toilet will ever be available for those really in need, given that there are a lot more able-bodied people than the disabled?

So WHAT IF everyone starts using accessible toilet beacause they think that how come “our government spent millions of taxpayers’ money to build so many facilities for the physically disabled, and only they are allowed to use it”? What will be the odds for it to still remain clean and the facility not damaged??

So WHAT IF a disabled person needs the toilet to perform his intermittent catheterisation, goes around the mall to only find this one accessible toilet but only to discover that someone able-bodied is inside because of his “inconvenience for waiting for other toilets plus liking for big spaces”???

Do you see the implications of what she wrote? It wasn’t about just THAT ONE DISABLED PERSON but making irresponsible statements when she is supposed to be a “celebrity”.

Furthermore, you really think that by just ONE Malaysian blogger writing to Singapore companies could cause her endorsements if there was nothing wrong with what she wrote at all? Get real!
