Letter: Accessibility is a legal obligation, not a welfare matter

The letter emphasizes that accessibility for persons with disabilities (PWDs) is a legal obligation rather than a welfare issue. It highlights the need for universal design and consistent infrastructure across all areas. Advocates call for stronger governance and the establishment of a dedicated committee to enhance accountability and ensure compliance with legal standards for accessibility in Malaysia.
