OKU

Majalah 3 tonight did a very good job in broadcasting about OKU and their dobi business.

Quoted from one of the OKU, "Ada orang tu datang kedai dobi ni dan terkejut tengok saya kat kaunter. Dia siap tanya saya boleh cuci baju dia ke?. Saya cakap boleh, mesin saya semua baru, boleh cuci baju dia sampai bersih. Lepas tu, orang tu cakap, xpe la, bagi balik baju saya, nanti baju saya kotor"

Gosh. I cant understand this kind of person perception. What kind of mentality is this?

Please understand these OKU. They are among the 'unfortunates' that should be given chances/responsibilities/trusts.

I know this since I have a brother who had low vision syndrome. He's normal but due to his features, people think he's abnormal.

Once, I overheard a man told his child:

Man : See that boy. He watches TV a lot, that's why he need to wear thick glasses.
His child then keep staring at my brother.

I, being a very protective sister then loudly talk to my brother. "If only this uncle know that u suffer from low vision problem and not by watching TV a lot, like his son".

Yes, I'm the angry sister. I dislike people making assumptions.

Please, I beg to people out there. If u think these kinds of people are strange, u are stranger than them!

Al-Fatihah : In beloved memories of Allahyarham Anas.
