disabled people...in the concept of human right

Human is belonging to man or mankind while right is proper authority or claim. Wherever there are a humanitarian crisis, disabled people will bear on additional burden due to a failure to constructs programmed that accounts for their needs or perhaps more accurately a failure even to acknowledge their existence.
Human right in Islam are a privilege which is conferred by Allah because the sovereignty not only for the state but entire universe rests with Him. In a Muslim kingdom citizens are allowed to enjoy private and public rights.
In Malaysia, before 1999, the government does not discriminate disabled people.
However, a few public facilities are adapted to the needs of disabled people.
Special education schools exist, but they are sufficient to meet the needs of the disabled population.
But nowadays, the government said the general public are becoming more sensitive to the needs of the physically disabled people.
There are many organizations of disabled person that have been clearly analyzing the issues and concerns of disabled people in Malaysia.
In Federal Constitution, Act 8 Clause (1) stated that all persons are equal before the law and entitled to the equal protection of the law.
However, Act 8 in Federal Constitution can not be used to protect disabled person in Malaysia because Clause (2) stated that there are no discrimination against citizens on the ground only of religion, race, descent, place of birth, or gender.
Disabled people clearly excluded but they can claim their fundamental right with NGOs.
So, despite the disabled people is different from normal people, they are also have the same human rights as we are. We have to treat them equal and fair.
