为打造更好生活条件 严燕松促多聆听身障者心声
阿裕尼集选区议员严燕松表示，为促进身障人士（Persons with disability）的生活条件，他表示将会多听取身障人士群体的建议，打造更具包容性的新加坡。
严燕松昨日（17日）在脸书上发出帖文，他偕同党内伙伴、工人党盛港集选区议员林志蔚，在周日与几位身障人士对话后，了解他们面对的处境和不便，获益良多。
其中参与对话的人士，包括因肌肉萎缩和受伤而失明的人、或者严重残疾的人，以及相关非政府组织的前执行董事。
“他们以坚毅不拔的精神克服人生障碍，我也为之鼓舞。”
新加坡在对待身障人士方面仍有改进空间，不过严燕松也承认，新加坡多年来为身障人士提供许多社区资源。
他接着说，为达到这样的目标，需结合多方面的协助，包括政府、雇主、学校和公民。
“我们也承诺将会持续听取他们的反馈。希望能够更了解他们所面临的挑战，对症下药，提出更有效的解决方法，使新加坡成为更具包容性的社会。”
因此，他也呼吁身障人士能够将自身的经验在留言区分享，或者通过Whatsapp 89250747亲自联系他。
