I was going to visit my mother recently via the air…when I did make my reservations I asked for help at the airport because I’m a disabled Veteran w/ a broken leg, bad back, bad neck and bad knees. If I don’t get help, there is no way I will make it from the check in to my plane…or from one plane to the next. Once I was checked in though, they turned me loose and there was no help. They sent me to a very long line. I went to the front of the line and told them of my problem and the man at the front said “So what? Everyone has a problem get to the end and wait.” I ended up not only missing my plane…I almost passed out…and they ended up charging me for another plane ride. One hint…Never fly through Alexandria, Louisiana.

i want to do a statistical survey on this issue. where is usually the best place to collect data?

Peter:
Car parks at shopping complexes, North-South expressway rest stops, LCCT-KLIA and government buildings. Also bear in mind that not all parkings with the wheelchair signs are accessible parkings. To quality, it must have a width of 3.6 meters.

I’ve seen this happen so many times. I have even confronted the driver. But all I got was “mind your own business”. This is Malaysia…. I do it cause i can, not need for common sense. Sigh….

Peter:
Thank you for advocating for disabled drivers. Slowly and surely we can change attitudes if we continue to create awareness among society.

great that you spoke up to the getz car driver. more people should speak up when they see this happening.

Peter:
Most of the drivers I spoke to are understanding. But there are those few rotten apples who will give me dirty looks. To them I would whisper, “Your day will come.”

It’s exactly like using the toilet for disabled people! Shame on them!

By the way, just yesterday I found out the disabled toilet at ground floor of E-Gate now has new door knob. It’s the lever handle type.

Peter:
Never mind the new lever handle. Is the toilet still as small? Only idiots would build such a small toilet and put a wheelchair logo there.
