You took the words right out of my mouth - I was going to say that the last picture with the bus steps was as good as a whole essay.

Well done!

Let’s hope that the words turn into action, if so that is a great step forward.
What is the venue and time for the dialogue with Rapid KL?
A good turn out of NGOs and other interested parties will perhaps help to get the wheels turning faster, so please let us know, thanks.

Peter:
The dialogue is on September 27, 2006, 7.30 pm at the Spastic Children’s Association of Selangor & FT.
