Wheelchair-bound protest locked OKU toilet, rude gesture by KTM staff
…
About 20 wheelchair-bound individuals staged a protest at the Rawang KTM station today, alleging mistreatment by station staff and that its toilet for the disabled (OKU) is always locked.
Independent Living & Training Centre Malaysia (ILTC) president Francis Siva said several representatives from his organisation had visited the station yesterday afternoon after receiving complaints from a fellow wheelchair-bound individual.
He claimed they had found the OKU toilet locked, and were on the receiving end from a station toilet staff when they requested that the toilet be unlocked.
ILTC secretary Gurdip Kaur also produced a photo of the toilet staff, which shows her making a rude gesture by turning around, bending over and thrusting her rear at the camera.
The wheelchair-bound individual who made the complaint, M Murugan, has been selling handicraft and stationery around the Rawang KTM station vicinity for the past two years.
“Since February, the toilet for the handicapped has always been locked. When I asked the cleaners, they would say ‘no water’, ‘no electricity’. […] They would scold me.
“When the cleaners opened the toilet door, I saw that it was filled with the cleaners’ personal belongings.
“When I asked, the cleaner said the officer had given her permission to store her things,” he said.
Murugan also claimed he had no choice but to defecate in his pants several times because of the lack of access to the handicapped toilet.
…
Francis, who is on a wheelchair himself, said: “The disabled toilets are intended to improve the disabled quality of life. Unfortunately, we have gotten a lot of complaints about the disabled toilets. They are using them as a store room, keeping mops and other things.
“Most of the disabled are suffering, for we have been denied the basic fundamentals of life. So, that’s why we are here to express our strong disappointment towards the Transport Ministry and KTM.”
Also present was MIC Selayang division chief MB Raja, who urged the ministry to act immediately on this issue.
