Ras Adiba calls for people with albinism to be included in PwD categories


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Senator Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi calls on the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry to amend the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) Act 2008 to include people with albinism in one of the categories of PwD.

She said such a move, which has been introduced in South Africa, could provide universal standards for the protection and promotion of rights for people with albinism and ensure the psycho-emotional wellbeing and welfare of the group would be given priority.
