Dear @DrDzul, our MO came up with this! Patient coming to Hosp Tg Karang for operation requiring general anaesthesia, can now have easier way understanding its risks.
Proud of the effort they put in for better & more efficient doctor-patient communication.

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

@Yu_Lin_Cheng 17 years is a wonderful life with you. My condolences 🥹

But on serious note, the umbrella with a seat thing is super cool

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

@shawnsharif Beli that umbrella with seat. I saw on Shopee before. Or…….just cry. In malaysia, it works. No shame become cry baby

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

@shawnsharif Invisible disability lanyards and the sunflower lanyards not quite recognised here. Summore butterfly for airport, bunga raya at the US Embassy….

Unfortunately/Fortunately I’m the kind that shove my doctors letter and oku card in peoples face and I’m a pro at crying

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

Am appalled by this.

[therealsunarpu @therealsunarpu]

it takes two to tango but only one to raba nenen orang though?
Can’t believe this is the discourse in 2025

[AIDA @projectlilymy]

Just a bump up that we are running this survey. Would appreciate if friends, disabled or non disabled, men, women, across the gender spectrum —— do participate. Even if you’re not a woman with disabilities, your insights and responses are important.

Jollibee I love you

This is the stupidest flu I’ve ever had!

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

RM550k can fund the start and pilot of 6 resource centres on autism as a central point for community out of the dreaded Zone Tengah. Enabling better equitable access to support for autistics.

Spending it on academics building modules that already exist is a waste of $

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

Autism is not a learning disability. Autism CAN co occur with a learning disability, and autism can also NOT co occur with a learning disability.

Giftedness is not autism ringan, giftedness is not a diagnosis even.

2024, when would Malaysian get with the programme?

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

RM550k grant to academics who still can't define or understand autism? While the world pushes for autistic representation in co-design, UM, NASOM, and IDEAS remain stuck in the 80s, focusing on eye contact as the main "revelation" about autism.

Aku trauma.

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

And when will corporates learn that instead of saying “jobs for PwDs” can’t they simply say if you need accommodations or a disability, kindly let us know what access needs.

How many more stupid ND programmes you wanna create. Balik balik “high functioning” hire only

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

Until one can step out of the circle and view it from a distance, without baggage - you won’t see how people play around with the lives of those who are often sidelined and oppressed (OKU, OAs, etc).

Worse is they do it to each other too. Trapped in a scarcity cycle

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

Why aren’t you involving parents I asked.

“They don’t accept”

🤦🏻‍♀️ and the problem is the autistic kids?

[Beatrice Leong @beaboobea]

I’m also not over hearing a self proclaimed therapist for autistic kids sharing that she put her clients in an isolated room to do therapy that no one else can go in.

Not parents either.
