Universal design now the rule

Petaling Jaya councillor Sia Siew Chin points out one of the flaws on public roads that create barriers for the disabled.

ALL new developments in Petaling Jaya will be required to seek building design approval from the council’s Universal Design Unit (UDU) before applications are accepted for planning approval.

Petaling Jaya mayor Datuk Mohd Azizi Mohd Zain said the Universal Design Unit was formed late last year to ensure all developments adhered to the universal design needs.
