00:00A DAP youth leader has called on UMNO Youth Chief Dr. Akmal Saleh to apologize to the country's OKU community
00:07after he suggested that his critics should be given OKU cards.
00:12Akmal had earlier stated that stern action should be taken against a school in Fort Dixon
00:16if it was proven that a disabled employee had been allowed to raise the Jalo Gemilang upside down on Friday.
00:23In response to an article in which a DAP youth leader accused Akmal of practicing double standards
00:28by remaining silent on similar mistakes were made by those aligned with UMNO,
00:33Akmal had remarked, please give these people a mirror and an OKU card too.
00:38In a Facebook post, Federal Territory's DAP youth chief Yap Yvonne said Akmal's comments were deeply offensive
00:44to the OKU community and implied that they were less capable than others.
00:49She said the remarks were also troubling because Akmal is a medical doctor
00:52and should understand that disabilities are medical conditions, not a choice.
00:57Yvonne said both the public and private sectors are increasingly working together
01:02to promote inclusivity for Malaysia's OKU community
01:05and as a member of the Malacca state government, Akmal should be aligning himself with such initiatives.
01:11The school involved, SJKC Chunghua, has since apologized for the incident,
01:16attributing the upside-down flag to staff oversight.
