"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that is a very serious issue. Failure to gazette that Section has led to serious human rights abuses to people with disabilities. In addition, they suffer from discrimination in employment and lack of access to public and private buildings. The transport system in this country does not favour them. The media has not even adapted - because the law has not been gazetted - the sign language that is essential. When the President gives a national speech, they cannot understand what is going on. Section 35(1) provides that any person with disability can actually apply to the Ministry of Finance for tax exemption. Six years is too long. Why has it taken so long for the Ministry to gazette that Section? It is very essential. It will make our people to live good lives. The disabled people will feel that they are part of this great country."
