PETALING JAYA: The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) places importance on providing equal opportunities for people with disabilities (PwD) to participate in healthy lifestyle activities, says its deputy mayor Aznan Hassan.
Speaking at the MBPJ-KBS OKU Carnival 2023 at D’Klana Hall here on Sunday, he pointed out that this would help to add value to their lives.
The carnival was held to promote inclusivity and empowerment within the differently abled community.
“This initiative plays a crucial role in fostering an inclusive society where the PwD community is not left behind,” Aznan said.
He expressed his support for efforts aimed at the development of the PwD community and said MBPJ recognises their rights and would continue to provide them with opportunities to enhance their lives.
At the carnival, the council showcased its proactive and caring approach to the OKU community by organising sports programmes tailored for this special group.
Among the events at the carnival were sport activities encompassing six categories aimed at talent discovery.
