The Act aims to prevent discrimination, establish the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities, and ensure access to education, health, and employment rights.
Despite a five-year grace period, challenges in implementation persist. Mr. Ab calls for government action and partnerships with disability associations.
Lawmakers like Chief Becky Orpin pledge support through bills to aid persons with disabilities.
