Penang Deaf Association appeals to the government for rent-free space as donations drop because of pandemic

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — The Penang Deaf Association is appealing to the government to allocate spaces for non-governmental organisations of the disabled community as many of these groups are now facing financial problems due to a lack of donations.

He said PDA has to pay a monthly rental of RM1,000 for its office and it can only afford one full-time interpreter.The lone interpreter will have to constantly travel from one place to another to help interpret for the hearing impaired in court, at the police station, in hospitals and at many other places where they need to communicate with people of normal hearing.

“These associations are needed to assist the disabled community, just like the PDA provides the sign language interpreter services to its members,” he said.
