Protection for the disabled


HARAPAN OKU commends Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail for her commitment to the 1% employment quota for persons with disabilities and for protecting it from any cut in the process of right-sizing the civil service (The Star, April 19; online at bit.ly/star_disabled).

Under her leadership, the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry has doubled the 1% OKU (disabled persons) employment target to 2%. It is also pushing all other ministries to meet the 1% quota, to gain the authority to tell the private sector to do the same.
