The First KABA of 2025 - A Fantastic Start to the Year!

By -

Kuala Lumpur, 25 JAN - we kicked off our first Braille course of the year, and what an incredible session it was! We were thrilled to welcome 10 participants from across the KL/Selangor state. This diverse group included parents of visually impaired children, occupational therapist, swim coach who is working with visually impaired students, and individuals simply eager to learn a new and valuable skill. Among the participants was our youngest student ever — a bright 12-year-old who was excited to dive into the world of Braille. It was inspiring to see someone so young showing such interest for learning, and her presence added a unique energy to the class. We were also fortunate to have experienced professionals who brought different perspectives to the course, enriching the learning experience for everyone involved.

The course covered the basics of Braille, with plenty of hands-on practice to ensure that each participant felt comfortable navigating this essential skill. For some, this class marked the beginning of their journey in supporting visually impaired individuals, whether at home, at work, or in their communities. For others, it was a chance to deepen their understanding and broaden their skill set. It is always heartwarming to witness the passion and dedication of those who come together to make a difference. Whether they are parents seeking to better assist their children, professionals looking to enhance their practice, or community members expanding their knowledge, each participant plays a crucial role in building a more inclusive society.

Below is a group photo of our wonderful participants with our KABA team — a memorable moment from our January session!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first KABA of 2025 — we look forward to seeing you in our upcoming sessions!

Tragedi LRT - Hak OKU Tercabar

By KL BRAILLE RESOURCES -

Tuan/Puan yang dihormati,  Minggu lepas, Sabtu 22/02/2025, komuniti OKU tersentak dengan berita kematian seorang cacat penglihatan akibat digilis train LRT di hentian Titiwangsa Kuala Lumpur. Saya selaku Pengerusi Kluster OKU MAKPEM bersama lain-lain pertubuhan OKU dan persatuan-persatuan membela kepentingan OKU, semua merasa kesal atas kemalangan tersebut. Komuniti OKU penglihatan menanggung dendam perasaan yang berbaur: sedih atas kehilangan rakan dan kawan lama, kecewa dengan sistem keselamatan dan kemudahan infrastruktur penyedia perkhidmatan pengangkutan awam negara kita, terkilan dengan kadar tanggungjawab petugas-petugas di stesen tersebut, resah dengan sikap kurang prihatin pengguna lain di situ terhadap pengguna buta yang bergerak sendirian dan juga, khuatir dengan keselamatan kami OKU yang mengguna kemudahan pengangkutan awam setiap hari untuk ke tempat kerja atau urusan-urusan lain.  Saya difahamkan mendiang Wong, lelaki buta 71 tahun, bergerak sendirian menggunakan...
