Time to amend and improve Persons with Disabilities Act, says M'sian Bar


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Bar is dismayed that people with disabilities continue to face significant challenges in exercising their basic rights, even though a decade has passed since the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Act 2008 came into effect, says its president Datuk Abdul Fareed Abdul Gafoor.

He said the PWD Act was enacted to implement the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, to which Malaysia is a state party.
