KUALA PILAH: The government should consider increasing the allowance rate for persons with disabilities (PWD) to help reduce their cost of living burden, especially those who are unable to work actively, says Senator Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi.

OKU Sentral president Ras Adiba said she often raised the issue in Dewan Negara and urged the government to consider the proposal.
