阿裕尼集选区议员严燕松表示,为促进身障人士(Persons with disability)的生活条件,他表示将会多听取身障人士群体的建议,打造更具包容性的新加坡。

严燕松昨日(17日)在脸书上发出帖文,他偕同党内伙伴、工人党盛港集选区议员林志蔚,在周日与几位身障人士对话后,了解他们面对的处境和不便,获益良多。

其中参与对话的人士,包括因肌肉萎缩和受伤而失明的人、或者严重残疾的人,以及相关非政府组织的前执行董事。

“他们以坚毅不拔的精神克服人生障碍,我也为之鼓舞。”

新加坡在对待身障人士方面仍有改进空间,不过严燕松也承认,新加坡多年来为身障人士提供许多社区资源。

他接着说,为达到这样的目标,需结合多方面的协助,包括政府、雇主、学校和公民。

“我们也承诺将会持续听取他们的反馈。希望能够更了解他们所面临的挑战,对症下药,提出更有效的解决方法,使新加坡成为更具包容性的社会。”

因此,他也呼吁身障人士能够将自身的经验在留言区分享,或者通过Whatsapp 89250747亲自联系他。
