Abstract

The article delves into the World Disability Day theme for this year, "Empowering Disability Leadership for Sustainable Inclusivity", offering a comprehensive examination of the challenges and ongoing efforts to improve the lives of people with disabilities in Malaysia. By highlighting a range of persistent obstacles, including inadequate infrastructure, limited public transport accessibility, and insufficient disability-friendly amenities in public spaces, the author paints a nuanced picture of the current landscape facing individuals with disabilities. A critical analysis of the Malaysian Disability Action Plan 2016-2022 forms a significant part of the discourse. This plan, designed to enhance accessibility, education, employment opportunities, and societal awareness, is scrutinised with particular attention to its limitations. The author expressly raises concerns about the absence of a clear follow-up strategy, suggesting potential momentum loss in the continuous effort to improve conditions for people with disabilities. To address these challenges, the article proposes several forward-looking recommendations. These include developing a more comprehensive follow-up plan with robust monitoring mechanisms, increasing stakeholder engagement in programme planning, leveraging technology to enhance inclusive education, and creating more disability-friendly infrastructure. The proposed strategies reflect a holistic approach to addressing systemic barriers.
