(12-9-2016 Penang) Dato¡¯ Teh Lay Kuan, President of Society of the Disabled Persons Penang, said that with a lot of pedestrian walkways built recently by the local government for the disabled and visually impaired, it shows that the authorities concerned understand better and do look into the plight and difficulties being faced by the disabled in moving around.

She said even though other public facilities are yet to be improved such as some bus stops are still not disabled friendly, basically this type of new pedestrian walkways design is quite friendly to the wheelchair user and visually impaired disabled persons.
