KUALA LUMPUR: Amendments to the Persons with Disabilities Act 2008, which will focus on the enforcement and empowerment of the disabled group’s rights, are expected to be finalised by June, says Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

The amendments, said Nancy, are necessary because many feel that the current law is weak or toothless.
