KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 — The Society of the Blind in Malaysia (SBM) has called for stronger national support to enhance inclusive employment opportunities for visually impaired individuals.
In conjunction with Labour Day 2026, highlighting their contributions across both public and private sectors.
In its statement, SBM urged employers to continue opening job opportunities, noting that many visually impaired individuals are skilled, educated, and digitally competent.
The organisation also proposed government measures including assistive technology subsidies, expanded digital training, and improved accessibility infrastructure.
SBM President Mohd Mustaza Mohamad Zin stressed that inclusion should focus on opportunity rather than sympathy, while reaffirming commitment to building a more equitable workforce in Malaysia.
