PWD ACT 2008 : AN INSIGHT (Forum)

Dear Friends in Disability

Many among us have heard of or read the Persons With Disabilities Act 2008 (PWDA). But how many actually understand its role in protecting our rights, promoting and improving the quality of our lives and more importantly the responsibilities of the government, private sector and NGOs towards this end?

A few concerned lawyers from the Bar Council have kindly come forward to provide an in-depth explanation of the PWDA, and how it can be effectively utilised to improve the lives of PWDs in Malaysia at the following forum :

PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES ACT 2008 : AN INSIGHT

Date: 8th July 2012 (Sunday)
Venue : MAB Hall, Jalan Tebing, Off Jalan Tun Sambanthan 4 ,Brickfields, KL

Salam Sejahtera Warga OKU

Ramai antara kita pernah dengar atau membaca Akta OKU 2008 (AOKU). Namun, berapa ramai yang sebenarnya memahami peranan AOKU dalam melindungi hak OKU, menggalak serta meningkat kualiti hidup kita dan lebih-lebih lagi mengenai tanggungjawab kerajaan, pihak swasta dan badan bukan kerajaan terhadap OKU?

Beberapa peguam yang prihatin dari Majlis Peguam telah menampil untuk memberi keterangan menyeluruh serta cara bagaimana AOKU boleh digunapakai secara efektif untuk mempertingkatkan kualiti hidup OKU Malaysia, di forum berikut :

MENYELAMI AKTA ORANG KURANG UPAYA 2008
Tarikh: 8hb Julai 2012 (Ahad)
Tempat : Dewan MAB, Jalan Tebing, Off Jln Tun Sambanthan 4, Brickfields, KL
Masa : 10.00 pagi – 1.00 tgh

Kami menjemput dua peserta dari setiap pertubuhan menghadiri Forum tersebut. OKU yang bukan ahli mana-mana pertubuhan juga dijemput sebagai individu. Semua yang ingin meyertai Forum diminta mendaftar melalui email, kepada whitebluelee@yahoo.com (Christine Lee), atau mfcy76@gmail.com (Faizal ) atau bathma23@gmail.com (Bathma) sebelum 6hb Julai.

Memandangkan kapasiti terhad di Dewan MAB, peserta diminta mendaftar awal. Kami juga akan menyiarkan Forum ini secara langsung melalui Internet Radio (IR) dan Skype. Pautan bagi IR akan diberi sebelum hari Rabu nanti.

Terima kasih.
