I'm a student. Currently doing a Final Year Project very much related to helping people with disabilities (may it be sensory disabilities or so) to travel independently. I came across this site and I was hoping if anyone could lend me a hand. Dont worry I am not asking for financial assistant to finance my project ;p But I was hoping to get to know more about: 1. Act established in Malaysia to protect the disable individual while traveling 2. Problem faced by these individual while traveling in Malaysia's public transport 3. And any related issues.. Although I'm not sure I'll be able to do much to help these individual with my project but I do hope my research can actually do some changes in certain way such as to help this individual to travel independently. You can reach me at sultaness_v@hotmail.com. Sorry for any inconvenient caused, thanks and have a nice day. I came a cross this site a moment ago while trying to gather some information.

For example, Disability Awareness training for senior level management of government bodies and service providers, tourism, transport, etc. If there is no follow through, we miss on capitalising what has been done and started, and the steam will be difficult to start again, and pick up again later. All the best.
