Nowadays, many of the buildings seem to provide a pathway specifically for disabled persons to
allow them to go back and forth easily .For example, the elevator and the slope for persons with
wheelchair which would really facilitate those who are in need of them. However, challenges
might appear whenever the evaluators available are not functioning due to some technical
problems. This would really cause a major problem for those disabled persons as it really
restricts their movement. For example, in AIKOL, there had been once when the only elevator
available was not functioning and a student who came to class by wheelchair had difficulties to
go to classes due to that problem. The same goes to the pathway for those with wheelchair
.Sometimes; the pathway was blocked by the irresponsible person who parked their care without
considering the right of these disabled persons.
Other challenge faced by them is in using the facilities available. For example, the
washrooms, spaces a public transport, parking lot and equipment provided in the workplace. In
some places, the facilities provided are not friendly to be used by the people with disabilities. For
example, in certain public buses, there is no pathway to allow to the person with wheelchair to
enter. Besides in some buildings, there is no wash room specially provided for disabled persons.
This really creates a gap between the normal person and the persons with disabilities due to their
disadvantages to adapt with the surroundings. Even if the facilities have been equipped in the
building and public transport, the sad thing is that sometimes those facilities provided had been
misused by the irresponsible person leaving those people in need to be in difficulties to compete
with those normal people which would cause them to be inferior.
In IIUM, there is some person who seems to care less about the rights of others and easily
take the parking lot which is specially provided for people with disabilities. It shows how
irresponsible the person is towards the person in need.

All in all, we can say that due to the disadvantages faced by them, tolerant is highly
needed between the normal persons and those with disabilities. Only then, they would feel secure
and more confident to face this world full of challenges.
