Masalah OKU dalam Perkhidmatan Kenderaan Awam

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gokum/message/3015



Kenderaan awam merupakan nadi kepada pembangunan negara. Sistem dan kemudahan kenderaan awam dapat menjamin kelancaran aktiviti sesebuah negara. Sekiranya kita menoleh ke negara-negara maju seperi Jepun danAmerika Syarikat, kita akan lihat betapa majunya sistem kenderaan awam mereka. Negara kita akan meraikan hari kemerdekaan genap 50 tahun beberapa hari lagi. Angka 50 tahun akan menjadi kayu ukur kepada tahap pencapaian kita. Dalam mengolak langkah sebagai sebuah negara maju pada tahun 2020, kita hanya mempunyai 13 tahun lagi. Lihatlah betapa majukita dalam kemudahan kenderaan awam pada hari ini. Namun, apakah ertinya kemajuan tersebut sekiranya terdapat golongan yang tidak dapat menikmatinya?Golongan yang saya maksudkan tidak lain tidak bukan ialah golongan orang kurang upaya (OKU).



Dalam kaitan antara OKU dengan kemudahan kenderaan awam, sudah pasti kumpulan OKU berkerusi roda merupakan kumpulan yang patut diutamakan. Mereka memerlukan satu mekanisma supaya dapat berhubung dengan dunia luar dan masyarakat umum. Bayangkan sekiranya mereka tidak memandu ataupun tidak mempunyai sanak saudara yang sudi membawa mereka keluar, bolehkah mereka menaiki LRT atau komuter kita yang serba canggih? Bas baru kita yang berhawa dingin dengan kerusi selesa yang sedang gah berlegar di kota? Kereta teksi samada yang biasa mahupun yang mewah? Saya percaya setiap langkah untuk mereka masuk mencuba kemajuan kemudahan kenderaan awam tersebut menjadi satu cabaran;cabaran yang sekiranya salah langkah mungkin akan terjatuh, tercederadan membahayakan nyawa mereka. Malah mungkin juga mereka tidak dapatmenggunakannya langsung disebabkan halangan daaripada penggunaan kerusiroda mereka.



Memang tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa ada usaha daripada syarikat yang menyediakan kemudahan kenderaan awam dalam memastikan perkhidmatan mereka mesra OKU. Terdapat kenderaan bas yang melebelkan stiker kerusi roda untuk menunjukkan bas mereka mesra OKU. Hakikatnya ketika artikel ini ditulis, pelaksanaannya belum sempurna, lebel stiker itu hanya sekadar hiasan. Projek tersebut bak kata pepatah "rumah sudah siap,tetapi pahat masih berbunyi". Saya tidak ingin memanjangkan komen disini, bagi persatuan-persatuan OKU yang terlibat dalam usaha menyempurnakannya sahaja yang faham. Bagaimanapun, usaha dan niat murni syarikat bas tersebut boleh dipuji, hanya perlaksanaannya perlu dikaji.Pada pendapat saya tanyalah pengguna kerusi roda cara terbaik untuk mereka boleh menggunakan bas tersebut sebelum melaksanakannya.Walau bagaimanapun, usaha harus dilakukan langkah demi langkah.



Kalau kita lihat antara perkhidmatan kenderaan awam di negara kita, masih terlalu banyak usaha yang harus dilakukan. Saya amat mengkagumi Group CEO syarikat AirAsia, iaitu Dato Tony Fernandes dalam tindakan beliau meningkatkan perkhidmatan penerbangannya baru-baru ini. Selepas mendapat protes daripada persatuan-persatuan OKU disebabkan perkhidmatan AirAsia yang tidak mesra OKU sebelum ini, dalam masa yang amat singkat beliau telah dapat menyelesaikannya dengan baik, malah meningkatkan perkhidmatan AirAsia walaupun memakan belanja yang amat besar. Memang syarikat yang mampu tidak ada masalah dari segi kewangan, tetapi Dato Tony Fernandes melaksanakannya dengan berhemat di mana segala pandangan OKU diambil berat dan dihormati. Syabas AirAsia.Dari segi bantuan kepada OKU pula, usaha yang dilakukan ialah untuk memastikan mereka dapat berdikari dengan sebolehnya.



Bantuan-bantuan tersebut boleh dibahagikan kepada bantuan pelajaran, bantuan pekerjaan,bantuan saraan, dan bantuan rawatan. Namun, pelaksaan setiap bantuan tersebut haruslah memastikan bahawa OKU yang disasar tidak mempunyai masalah untuk ke pusat bantuan berkenaan. Contohnya, OKU diberi diskaun istimewa untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di institusi pendidikan tinggi,namun disebabkan masalah pengangkutan awam, OKU yang berminat tidak dapat ke sana. Jadi pelaksanaannya gagal dan mungkin alasan yang dilaporkan ialah tidak mendapat sambuan daripada OKU.



Jika diselidik, kenderaan awam yang amat diperlukan oleh OKU ialah kenderaan awam yang dapat menghantar mereka "dari pintu kepintu"iaitu perkhidmatan teksi. Malangnya teksi di negara kita bukanlah yang jenis mesra OKU. Walaupun terdapat segelintir pemandu teksi yang amat bermurah hati mengambil pelanggan yang berkerusi roda,namun berapa ramaikah antara mereka? Kadang-kadang masalah yang timbul bukan disebabkan nilai perikemanusiaan mereka, tetapi disebabkan jenis kereta teksi mereka yang tidak dapat mengambil penumpang yang berkerusi roda.Kita telah lihat betapa hebatnya projek meningkat taraf perkhidmatan teksi di negara kita. Kereta-kereta mewah telah pun dijadikan teksi dengan hanya tambahan tambang yang tidak begitu tinggi, kononnya untuk keselesaan penumpang. Namun adakah jenis teksi yang boleh mengambilpenumpang berkerusi roda?



Sekiranya kita bandingkan antara pelaburan untuk membeli kereta mewah sebagai teksi eksekutif berbanding dengan kereta yang boleh dimasuki kerusi roda (wheelchair accessible taxi),yang mana memperlihatkan imej pengusaha yang lebih perihatin?Keperihatinan sesebuah negara terhadap pelaksanaan kebajikan rakyatnya juga menjadi kayu pengukur tahap tamadun dan kematangannya dalam isu kebajikan rakyat.



Berikut adalah penerangan terhadap masalah-masalah tersebut:



1. Sikap pemandu teksi yang merasakan penumpang kerusi roda amat leceh dan melambatkan. Mungkin kebanyakan pemandu teksi mengejar masa kerana bagi mereka makin cepat tindakan mereka maka makin ramailah penumbang yang dapat diangkut pada hari tersebut.



2. Sikap pemandu yang merasakan penumpang kerusi roda amat merumitkan.OKU kerusi roda memang memerlukan orang lain untuk memasukkan kerusi roda mereka di bonet kereta selepas mereka memasuki kereta. Namun,pemandu teksi merasakan penumpang tersebut hanya mendatangkan masalah kepada mereka.



3. Ruang bonet kereta yang terhad disebabkan balang gas. Kita sedia maklum bahawa kereta teksi di sekitar Lembah Klang kebanyakannya menggunakan kuasa NGV. Maka disebabkan balang gas NGV yang mengambil sebahagian ruang bonet, tiada ruang untuk memasukkan kerusi roda.



Usaha menjadikan negara kita berimej sebuah negara perihatin dan penyayang haruslah dipertingkatkan. Jangan usaha-usaha tersebut hanyalah untuk mendapat publisiti atau kepentingan peribadi. Pihak pengusaha juga perlulah melihat bahawa perkhidmatan kenderaan awam mereka sebagai satu tanggungjawab sosial, bukan hanya menitikberatkan keuntungan semata-mata. Ahli masyarakat pula perlulah memahami keperluan OKU untuk keluar bermasyarakat. Jangan salah guna kemudahan yang disediakan khas untuk mereka sebagai kemudahan diri sendiri, contohnya tempat letak kereta untuk OKU, tandas, dan lain-lain.Setiap kali apabila terlihat OKU berkerusi roda dalam kegiatan ditempat-tempat awam, saya terlihat betapa cabaran mereka dalam menempuhi hidup ini berbanding kita yang bebas bergerak. Apabila terlihat prasarana pembangunan di sesuatu tempat yang bersifat mesra OKU,terlintas di fikiran ini betapa bagusnya jika kita semua sama-sama dapat menikmati limpahan pembangunan negara yang tercinta ini, semoga Malaysiaku Mesra OKU.

Gay paksa tukang urut OKU

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gokum/message/3016

Oleh Mohd Sabran Md Sani dan Siti Fatimah Hassan KUALA LUMPUR:

Golongan gay atau homoseksual gersang sanggup membayar 'duit tip' antara RM100 hingga RM200 kepada tukang urut cacat penglihatan semata-mata untuk memuaskan nafsu seks yang sedang bergelora.

Tindakan tidak senonoh golongan terbabit mempergunakan golongan kurang upaya(OKU), menimbulkan perasaan kurang selesa pengamal perubatan tradisional dikalangan orang cacat penglihatan yang mendakwa perkhidmatan ditawar disalahertikan.

Perkara itu didedahkan sendiri seorang daripada tukang urut cacat penglihatan terbabit yang hanya dikenali sebagai Zamri, dengan mendakwa ada di antara golongan terbabit bertindak keterlaluan apabila meminta melakukan perbuatan keji termasuk beronani dan 'urut batin'.

Zamri berkata, kewujudan terlalu banyak pusat urut maksiat di sekitar ibu kota menyebabkan orang ramai turut menganggap golongan senasibnya menawarkan perkhidmatan sama apabila sanggup 'berhabis' berbanding caj urutan biasa."Tidak kira apa bangsa sekali pun, semua mempunyai niat yang satu iaitu semata-mata untuk mendapatkan 'khidmat songsang' daripada kami," katanya kepada Harian Metro, ketika ditemui di Brickfields, di sini.

Selain itu, Zamri berkata kebanyakan mereka itu tanpa segan silu meminta perkhidmatan songsang berkenaan malah yang lebih berani 'meraba-raba' tubuh badan tukang urut buta ketika mengurut golongan terbabit."Perkara seperti ini sering berlaku. Mereka hanya datang dan terus bertanyakan mengenai perkhidmatan itu. Sepatutnya kami yang mengurut mereka, tetapi bertukar sebaliknya apabila mereka pula yang 'mengurut' kami."Mungkin dia ingat orang celik biasa melakukan perkara keji lalu menganggap golongan seperti kami melakukan perbuatan sama, tetapi mereka silap kerana kami bukan tukang urut jenis itu," katanya yang mengusahakan pusat urut di Gombak.

Tindakan itu dikatakan menjadi jalan alternatif bagi mereka yang ingin memuaskan nafsu apabila pusat urut maksiat sedia ada kendalian orang normal sering diserbu pihak berkuasa selain ada pula yang mencari 'selera baru'.Harian Metro difahamkan pusat urut dimaksudkan itu banyak beroperasi di sekitar Pandan Jaya dan Pandan Indah, selain spa gay di ibu kota seperti di Bukit Bintang sering kali menjadi tumpuan golongan songsang terbabit.Malah, pendedahan Harian Metro pada 21 Februari lalu turut menyelongkar mengenai sindiket 'rumah urut gay tempatan' yang dikendalikan individu normal dikesan semakin berani menonjolkan diri dengan memancing pelanggan mewah antarabangsa menerusi panggilan telefon.

Perkhidmatan eksklusif itu ditawarkan terus ke depan pintu dan tukang urut gay idaman akan memberikan perkhidmatan berdasarkan keperluan pelanggan, manakala lokasinya terserah kepada kedua-dua pihak kerana tukang urut dihantar sindiket menggunakan pengangkutan peribadi.Sebelum transaksi bagi dwi perkhidmatan gay termasuk urutan dan teman sosial dipersetujui antara kedua-dua pihak, satu ejen khas yang dilantik sindiket ditugaskan untuk menjadi perantara bagi menerima panggilan tersebut.

Make workplace more disabled-friendly

http://iltcmalaysia.blogspot.com/2008/11/make-workplace-more-disabled-friendly.html

KUCHING: Infrastructure and an environment that is not disabled-friendly is the reason why many employers find it difficult to hire the disabled, said Sarawak Welfare Department director Kendy Edward.

She said an environment that was not disabled-friendly restricted the movement of this group of people.

“The problem is not the qualifications or job offers, but the lack of a disabled-friendly environment, which should be addressed.

“Many employers are keen to hire the disabled, but the environment is not suitable for them,” she told reporters after the closing the Bicara Bestari smart talk programme on the topic Empowering the Disabled, Outlining Success, Proving Ability here recently.

Edward urged employers to provide disabled-friendly facilities to allow them to carry out their tasks with ease, instead of only offering jobs.
She said the employers must provide facilities such as barrier-free zones, ICT facilities and support equipment to allow them to move freely and do their work well.

“I hope those in the public and private sectors will provide the disabled with suitable jobs based on their qualifications and degree of disability as well as access to the workplace,” she said.
To encourage the private sector to hire more disabled persons, Kendy said the state allowed tax reductions for renovations to make offices disabled-friendly.

There are 19,857 disabled people registered with the Sarawak Welfare Department of whom 2,006 are blind, 2,647 deaf, 7,072 physically disabled, 7,196 slow learners and 936 with cerebral palsy.

The Bicara Bestari programme will present its findings to instil care and respect and promote acceptance and openness towards the disabled. – Bernama

Penang to make public transport disabled-friendly by 2010

Penang to make public transport disabled-friendly by 2010

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/12/11/nation/20081211131950&sec=nation

GEORGE TOWN: Penang will be the first Malaysian state to conduct a full audit of its public transport facilities while it develops a comprehensive blueprint to improve the access and mobility of people with disabilities by 2010.

The initiative to boost the economic and social independence of those with disabilities, will be done through a two-year pilot project by the state’s Economic Planning Unit (UPEN) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNPD) to study how to create a barrier free public transportation in Penang.

UNPD Assistant Resident Representative James George Chacko said the ‘Transport for Persons with Disabilities - Support of the Development of Accessible Transport in Penang’ and its access audit on public buses, taxis, trains, ferries and airplanes as well as other infrastructures would lead to the development of a holistic transport improvement strategy that would in turn offer a framework for raising awareness levels in the general public.

“The audit will also look into pick-up points, road pavements and pathways emphasising on inter-connectivity. The findings of this audit will form the basis to develop an accessible public transport improvement master plan.

“The other initiatives to be undertaken in the coming months will include a demand responsive door-to-door transport service in Penang island; capacity building for disabled people in accessing public transportation; disability equality training for front line transport operators; training on access building requirements and universal design for contractors, architects and civil servants; designing a barrier-free bus stop model; and an awareness campaign,” he said at the launching ceremony of the UNPD-UPEN project at Dorsett Penang Hotel on Thursday.

Chacko also said the project was supported by the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, and UNPD was confident with the project’s strong rationality, it would receive the necessary financial backing of the Federal Government.

“The project seeks to develop a ‘best practice’ model that we hope can be replicated nationwide,” he added.

State Local Government, Traffic Management and Environment Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow, who launched the project, said the state government was also studying the possibility of drawing up a transport master plan and forming a state transport commission to serve as a one-stop agency responsible for planning, implementation and management if all transport issues in Penang.

“The necessary documents are currently being prepared for submission to the state executive council.

“We hope they will be ready by the end of the month or early next month before we start work on formulating the master plan, which we estimate will take one or two years to draw up and implemented,” he said. - Bernama

Carpark at Bukit Jambul Shopping Complex building

hehehe...i took this picture at BJ sopping complex carpark. This picture has been taken at carpark at ground floor. Why i'm taking this picture.? Actually we find the carpark for disability but cannot found it. I'm interested with this area because it is near to the entrance to this building. For your information, this carpark is not for persons with disability.



So, where are the persons with disability want to park their car? What i mean is for those who have their own car? For me, why not they (the management of this building) put a sticker there and use this area for the disable? I guess this location is strategic for them. It is not only located in front of the entrance to the building but it is also at a ground floor. They don't need to go to a very high level parking area just to find a place to park their car. What do you think? Agree with me...?

What is happen here...?

Apa dah jadi ni...? Silap haribulan ada yg masuk dalam tu pula. cerita ni saya jumpa kat perhentian bas di Sungai Dua, Pulau Pinang. Kalau tak silap kawasan ni baru je "disembuh" dalam tahun lepas (2008) tapi sekarang dah macam ni pula. Apa yang jadi sebenarnya ni...besi untuk tutup lubang tu ada kaki la agaknya boleh berjalan. Yang tu masyarakat kena jawab la terutama sekali individu yang tidak bertanggungjawab kerana mengambil harta awam. Masalah ni sebenarnya masalah sosial juga...tapi apa yang saya nak tekankan kat sini sekarang ialah masalah yang akan timbul kesan daripada tindakan individu yang tidak bertanggungjawab.


Macam mana kalau OKU yang cacat penglihatan(buta) lalu kat kawasan ni. Bayangkanlah apa yang akan terjadi. Walaupun mereka ada tongkat...mereka tak akan menjangka ada lubang yang besar di hadapan mereka. Apa akan jadi kalau mereka terjatuh dalam lubang tu... dah baik orang letak besi untuk tutup lubang tu, senang-senang pula orang lain angkat ye...? Dah tu diganti pula dengan tong sampah jadi penutup.


Tengokla gambar kat bawah ni...letak ranting dengan plastik kat situ berkesan ke? Yela, kalau siang ok la kot orang boleh nampakkan. Tapi bayangkanlah waktu malam. Untuk pengetahuan semua, kawasan ni agak gelap tau. Silap-silap ada yang termasuk dalam tu kalau baru pertama kali lalu kat perhentian bas ni. Memang parah betul la... masalah ni bukan hanya mendatangkan kesusahan kepada individu OKU yang lalu kat kawasan ni malah turut memberi masalah kepada masyarakat awam yang lain.

Ok, sekarang kita tengok pula gambar kat bawah ni. Masih di tempat yang sama lagi. Apa yang saya nak tunjukkan kat sini ialah keluasan ruang . Bagi saya ruang kosong tu sangat sempit apatah lagi bila penutup lubang tu dah hilang, bertambah lagi la kesempitan lorong tersebut. Saya rasa telefon awam ni sangat tidak sesuai diletakkan di situ. Apa pendapat korang?

Lorong ni memang sah la kalau ada OKU yang guna kerusi roda memang tak dapat nak lalu. Selain itu perhentian bas ni juga memang tak mesra OKU. Pada pendapat korang la kan...macam mana la agak-agaknya perhentian bas yang boleh kitaanggap sebagai mesra OKU. Agak-agaknya apa kriteria yang perlu ditekankan dan macam mana pula reka bentuk yang sesuai. Kalau ada cadangan boleh la kita bincang2 kat sini...hehehe. Terima kasih kerana meluangkan masa untuk membaca celoteh ni.

MEMORANDUM on disability issues

" Memorandum on Disability Issues For The 9th Plan" ... read more at this link:

http://www.pocam.org/DOWNLOAD/050601_memo3.htm

People with disabilities in Malaysia are a large minority group who have been subjected to direct and indirect discrimination. In planning for the disabled, a holistic approach is required. Therefore it is imperative that a chapter be devoted to address the concerns of the disabled in the formulation of the 9th Malaysia Plan. We recommend that the chapter be entitled “The Disabled and Development”

In the past twenty-five years there has been an increasing awareness of issues faced by people with disabilities both in Malaysia and internationally. These developments were in part the result of the various United Nations initiatives; the International Year of the People With Disabilities (1981) followed by the UN Decade of People with Disabilities with its World Program of Action (1983-1993), the Asian and Pacific Decade of People With Disabilities (1993-2002).

These programs have two primary objectives:

1. To achieve an equal share in the opportunities and improved living conditions resulting from social and economic development for people with disabilities.

2. To promote effective measures for the prevention of disability, rehabilitation and the realisation of the goals of full participation and equality of people with disabilities in social life and economic development.

One of the major results of these initiatives was the birth of a new approach to disability issues, in many countries, that recognised the:

1. Citizenship rights of people with disabilities; and

2. Social and environmental nature of obstacles to the achievement of self-reliance and full equality by people with disabilities.

We urge the government to address the following important issues, which were highlighted at a Workshop. The following recommendations are submitted for the consideration of the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department for appropriate budgetary allocations for the development of disabled persons under the 9th Malaysia Plan.

1. Recommendations on education

2. Recommendations on vocational training

3. Recommendations on Employment

4. Recommendations on housing

5. Recommendations for an Accessible Built Environment

6. Recommendations for Accessible Transportation

7. Recommendations on Health and Medical Care

8. Recommendations on Social Provision

9. Recommendations on Public Awareness

10. Recommendations on Information Technology

11. Recommendations on Non Government Organisations (NGOs)

12. Recommendations on Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR)

13. Recommendations on Legislation

There are 13 recommendations listed but the most important issues that i would like to highlight here is:

1. Recommendations for an Accessible Built Environment

The Uniform Building By Laws(1984) under the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974 was amended in 1990. It makes it mandatory for all new building to have facilities and amenities for people with disabilities. Subsequently, The Malaysian Standard (MS 1184:91) Code of Practice for Access for the Disabled People to Public Buildings was drawn up to provide the specifications for the essential provisions that need to be incorporated into such buildings. However, due to lack of monitoring the enforcement of the Act and Code of Practice, many buildings are still inaccessible to people with disabilities. Therefore we recommend the following;

• The government should consider measures to monitor the enforcement of the laws regarding barrier-free access of the disabled to public buildings. All public places should have appropriate toilet facilities and adequate parking spaces. Roads, pavements, pathways and walkways, pedestrian crossing (with traffic lights and bleeps) must made more accessible for people with disabilities.
  


• More parking lots in the shopping complexes should be allocated to the disabled car drivers and motorbike users.

2. Recommendations for Accessible Transportation

Lack of accessible transportation appears to be greatest problem faced by people with disabilities who have mobility impairments. It should be recognised that providing accessible transportation benefits everybody, especially the growing number of elderly people and also parents with young children. We urge the government to introduce a policy to provide accessible transportation in phases, particularly in urban areas. We therefore recommend the following :

• Public transport should be made user-friendly. For example, wheelchair users have difficult coping with fast closing doors of the commuter trains. The public buses should revert to the old system where all seats face one way so that the seats railings are easily accessible to guide blind passengers. The railings on the roof should be easily reached by disabled standing passengers and the seats themselves should be lower in height for better balance especially during emergency brakes . Although there are seats reserved for people with disabilities, this policy must be enforced and special services for people with disabilities must be made available.
  

• The local authorities should consider the users bigger taxis to accommodate both wheelchair and passenger. A coupon system with a 50% discount for people with disabilities using taxi service should be introduced until the public transport is more accessible to the people with disabilities.
  

• The introduction of a special service at airports to ensure the safety of wheelchair and luggage for disabled passengers.
  

• The government should encourage people with disabilities to buy their own cars by removing the excise duty imposed on cars ( at least those of locally produced cars).It is not only disabled persons that benefit.
  

• Incentives should be offered to transport operators for providing accessible vehicles.

• Enact standards for accessible public transport vehicles and transport infrastructure based on universally accepted practice but appropriate for conditions and users in Malaysia; then require new public transport vehicles and infrastructure to comply with these standards.
  
• Require transport operators to provide low-floor buses in urban areas where conditions are suitable.


• Train and sensitise staff of transport vehicles at all levels to be aware of the special needs of disabled person and to know how to assist them appropriately.
  
• Enforce the design standards for an accessible external built environment which is vital to provide the link between accessible transportation and accessible buildings.
  

The above recommendations are, of necessity, only a selection and reflect the extent of support systems that people with disabilities currently require. The demand from people with disabilities to become equal members of society has been voiced consistently over the past two decades. Therefore, when this issues are given serious attention that it deserves people with disabilities and their families tend to benefit in several ways.

They will be able to develop a higher level of self-reliance as well as economic and social independence. The families of people with disabilities will have access to some financial relief while more opportunities will be created for people with disabilities in education, training and employment. Someday soon it is anticipated that people with disabilities will be able to finally enjoy "full participation and equality" in society through economic and social integration.

The New Episod at Prangin Mall...

Welcome back!..This is a new episod at Prangin Mall. Let's check...

This is a pictures of the parking space and the handicap ramp for persons with disabilities at Prangin Mall's sub-basement. As we saw there are only two parking space for persons with disabilities and the space of the parking is big. But, is it enough if only provides two parking space? hmm...I think that is quite enough because there are only a few persons with disabilities go to the mall and maybe they go with their family and of course they don't use that parking space...(..that is our opinion). That area is only for persons with disabilities because the sign showed "strictly for disabled only". Hopefully the society not use the facilities like parking space that provides for them. The handicap ramp for disable also provided. It is suitable but the lenght between parking space to the handicap ramp are look far. Why not the building administrator build that ramp near the parking space? Because, as we see they need to walk along through the parking space before they enter to the mall. So, that path must be build near parking space to make them easy to enter to the mall.

That all for this part. See you all again in the next finding... wait aa...~peace~
