+ 2.0 The Application of Universal Design in
Malaysia and abroad
1980s
Malaysia has started to address the needs of People
with Disabilities (PWD) in the built environment with
the development of Malaysian Standards and code
of practices
This started the global trend toward universal/inclusive design as it was formed
to protect and enhance the rights and opportunities of the world's estimated
650 million (in 2006) disabled people.
Many countries sign up to the convention, including Malaysia, and have agreed
to adopt and enact laws so that persons with disabilities would have equal
rights to education, employment, and cultural life; the right to own and inherit
property; not be discriminated against in marriage, children, etc; not be
unwilling subjects in medical experiments.
