OKU, NGOs demand urgent action to ensure safe, accessible public spaces after blind woman injured


OUTRAGED by yet another case of negligence towards the disabled community, over 50 people with disabilities (OKU) and seven non-governmental organisations (NGOs) staged a protest outside Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) headquarters on Wednesday (March 12), demanding urgent action to protect their right to safe and accessible public spaces.

The demonstration was sparked by a recent incident in Brickfields where visually impaired Annbarasi Nyanasekaran, 40, suffered a broken leg after tripping over a trolley left on a pedestrian walkway by a shop for loading and unloading goods.
