PUTRAJAYA: As of Dec 31 last year, 3,856 persons with disability (OKU) or 0.31% of all OKU were employed in the public sector out of a total 1,268,701 posts in the country, says the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry.
In a press statement issued yesterday, the ministry said it was studying new methods and strategies with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other related agencies to increase the implementation of the 1% OKU participation policy in the civil service and certain private organisations so that handicapped persons are not sidelined from national development.
