I know the context and I think disabled people also pull their weight in jobs -if not we have to work harder to prove ourselves at timea. But you are right - the government needs to show example and maybe put some legislation into it to make it happen. After all, as some Malaysians have known positive discrimination for some time now, why not include disabled people now? <strong>Peter: There is still a strong prejudice whether we can perform well. I have spoken to some people who really want to work but are stopped by the poor infrastructure.</strong> Peter, Employment is not a right I guess but how would giving a job to a crip like us be considered making a ‘ caring’ society?
