Funds boost for training disabled
Friday 16 Jul,2010
SHAH ALAM: Cerebos (M) Sdn Bhd recently donated RM10,000 each to two skills training welfare groups for the disabled — Beautiful Gate Foundation for the Disabled, and Society of Families of Persons with Learning Difficulties (Perkobp).
The company which manufactures the Brand’s range of health and wellness products made the donation through Brand’s “Gift of Love Campaign”.
General manager Koh Joo Siang said the group believed in sharing.
“We want to share by giving deserving non-governmental organisations a financial boost so that they can continue their good work.
“We can also help the organisations to upgrade their facilities which are essential for training and educating their members,” he said.
In four years, Cerebos has raised a total of RM60,000 for the two organisations. This includes the latest donation of RM20,000.
Beautiful Gate Foundation executive director Sia Siew Chin said: “The disabled, who are often seen as a burden to their families and society, are always looking for opportunities to be treated fairly.
“They yearn for education and training opportunities to be able to gain employment so that they can be independent and self-sufficient,” she said.
Sia said the foundation worked with the private sector and relevant ministries to train the disabled to enhance their skills and help them integrate into society.
Perkobp president Peter Phang said the donation would go into the organisation’s building fund.
He said Perkobp was seeking donations from individuals and corporations to realise its dream of relocating within the next two years.
The new state-of-the-art Cerebos factory is equipped with ramps, handrails and a lift which make the facility wheelchair accessible. These facilities will make it easier for disabled people to visit the facility and also allow the company to employ disabled staff.

Hazardous crossing for wheelchair users
Monday 19 Jul,2010
Wheelchair-bound
KUALA LUMPUR: The physically challenged community in Kepong Baru finds it dangerous to use the flyover which links Kepong Baru and Taman Menjalara
The bridge was built to ease the traffic congestion in the area.
The disabled residents living in the area are forced to use the road daily because the pedestrian paths on both sides of the flyover are too high for them to get onto in their wheelchairs.
The paths, which are safer to use, are more than 5cm high.
The gradient of the slope going up the flyover is too steep for a person using a manual wheelchair, while those using electric wheelchairs or scooters also have trouble getting over the road divider to cross to the opposite sides of the flyover.
“We can’t go from one side of the flyover to the other without cars and motorbikes honking at us.
“It is very difficult, especially during peak hours. It is a hazardous and frightening experience which we have to face daily,” said Hee Yong Wah, 48, who is wheelchair-bound and has been living at the Beautiful Gate Foundation for the Disabled centre in Kepong Baru for 20 years. The centre has 15 residents who are all wheelchair-bound.
Kepong Community Service Centre head Yee Poh Ping, together with City Hall officials from the Public Works Department and the Urban Transport Department, visited the site yesterday.
“The issue has been brought up to City Hall’s attention. We hope the officials will look into the matter seriously and find a solution as soon as possible for the wheelchair-bound community here,” said Yee.

Crossing the disability barrier
Tuesday 01 Jun,2010
KUALA LUMPUR: Caring Malaysians showed that they had big hearts by taking part in the “Be An Angel Campaign 2010″ at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Centre in Jalan Robertson, here, recently.
The volunteer training camp provided opportunities for participants to understand the plight of the disabled and be trained to help them.
The camp also helped people with disabilities (PWD) to learn how to communicate with able-bodied people.
On the final day of the three-day event, celebrities, members of the public and volunteers sang songs, participated in a sharing session and attended a prize-giving ceremony. Prizes were given to the best camper, best disabled camper and best team.
“The main objective of the camp is to break barriers between the disabled and society,” said pastor Sia Siew Chin, executive director of the Beautiful Gate Foundation for the Disabled.
“We do not have funds to employ enough full-time workers for all our homes.
“The camp was also held to recruit volunteers for our seven Beautiful Gate centres,” she said.
The Methodist Church set up the Beautiful Gate Foundation in 1993.
Fifty people, 24 PWD and 15 committee members took part in the camp.
Soo Wincci and Cindy Chen, winner and first runner-up of the Miss World Malaysia 2008/2009 respectively were among the participants.
Jeanie Lee, singer, William Lee and Eerven Teoh, co-hosts of the TV2 show What Say You? were also present.
Able-bodied participants were made to use wheelchairs, blindfolds and eat with their hands bound so that they could gained a better understanding of the trials and tribulations that the disabled go through daily.
“We need volunteers to give tuition to students at our centres on subjects like English and educate them to be tech-savvy by showing them how to use computers.
“Basically, we welcome any contribution from the public that is knowledge-based.
“We also need volunteers to help organise fund-raising dinners and other charity events.
“Volunteers are also needed in our recycling department, to help collect recyclable items such as bottles and tins which can be sold to generate extra income for our homes,” Sia said.
The campaign includes an “Angel At Work” segment” in which volunteers have to spend at least 30 hours helping out at Beautiful Gate homes or in fund-raising activities in six months.
She said the organisation was grateful to former Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun who had been donating money to the campaign since it was launched by her in 2005.
“She donated RM5,000 for the campaign this year,” said Sia.
Chee Khiong, 25, who has cerebral palsy, was named the best camper in the person with disability (PWD) category.
Dionito C. Tararoc, who is deaf and mute, used sign language to say he had enjoyed playing the role of a villain who bullied the disabled in a sketch.
Tararoc was clearly delighted when he received a note that said: “Handsome boy, please keep on fighting!”
This was in a segment where participants wrote encouraging messages to another participants.
