PUTRAJAYA: Persons with disabilities (OKU) will soon enjoy free transport services, says Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

However, the mechanism to provide free rides for the group will need to be looked into, she added.

She said the OKU group currently is entitled to a 50 per cent fare discount but not many are benefiting from it. "I spoke to the Minister on this matter and in principle, he has agreed to the proposal,” she told reporters after officiating at a town hall session on Child Services organised by the Social Welfare Department here Wednesday .In a Twitter post, Nancy said just before the Cabinet meeting today, she had discussed with Loke the possibility of providing free rides to OKUs who use Light Rail Transit , Mass Rapid Transit and stage bus services.
