Government encourage people with special need & disability to step out of their house. They offer travel concession for people with special need. They offer Singapore citizen only discount for entry to certain places of interest. However, they offer free entry to Singapore Zoo, Bird Park, River Safari & Night Safari for DDR card holder below 12 yrs old. And not all staff are aware of this, the first time we show them the pass at the zoo. The staff was lost and do not know how to respond. Senior Citizen price also only accorded to Singapore Citizen only.
OKU Kad - They offered special price for these group of special people. Whether is government operated or private operated, they just accord the special price so long you can provide the proof of identification. Senior Citizen are all accorded with senior citizen price - all you need is the proof of identification.
Are the support and awareness for the special need & disability are sufficient? The people around are looking at this group of people with a negative view. Our mayor Ms Phua had done a lot for this group of people but people are not really bothered about it.
How to change the view of these people to be more acceptable toward the special group of people.
