BASIC ARGUMENT

What designer do for DISABILITY PEOPLE??

When I go to shop or mall to buy some new cloth suddenly I saw the couple that both of them are blind walking at the road side and I wonder how they want to buy a cloth and know the color of the cloth that they buy? and I also wonder how they choose the cloth that they want to wear everyday? 

As we know in Malaysia the amount of disability people are increase every year but the facility for this people are less why this happen? where the people that should provide all this thing to this people? and what designer do to make this people live better? Lets focus on the blind people have You ever think how difficult they have to deal with their live for example choose the cloth, buy a vegetable or fruit. Therefore I do some research about disability people and I also get the statistic of disability people in Malaysia. 

Here are the statistic that I get from Malaysia Welfare Department site that shows the amount of disability people in Malaysia from 2012 to 2013.

 

 Statistic disability people in the year 2013

Categories	Amount
Blind	46 307
Deaf	58 706
Physical	162 215
Learning problem	178 800
Speech problem	3 677
Mental	19 914
Various	24 455
Total	494 074

Statistic disability people in year 2012

Categories	Amount
Blind	40 510
Deaf	53 357
Physical	148 461
Learning problem	165 281
Speech problem	1 734
Mental	14 990
Various	20 673
Total	445 006

As we can see the amount of disability people are increase from the year 2012 to 2013 and I notice that the facility for this people not as much as the people increase. Yes, there is a facility for this people but is there enough? and I notice not all the facility for this people use by them mostly the normal people use it for its own sake. 

This disability people also need some facility that can make their life more easier and they can life as normal as the normal people. For example the blind people, we can make some gadget for this people like the scanner that can tell them the color so that their life will be better and they also know what they wear and can increase their confident level.
