We deserve OKU leaders who stand with us

YB Senator Isaiah Jacob,

WE, members of the OKU community that includes OKU advocates, disability rights activists, care partners and allies, are profoundly disappointed by your recent remarks and stance in a profile interview with Malaysiakini published on 22 April 2024 – that was raised, on May 1, for the attention of the OKU community. Our voices reflect the diversity of our lived OKU experiences and insights. Amongst us are individuals with expertise in research, advocacy, training, and policy development in sectors ranging from law, human rights, media, community building, self-empowerment, education, healthcare, and public health, to gender equality, ICT, the arts and beyond.
