"Disabled people can be sidelined.
Yet many of them are just looking for an opportunity to lead a normal productive life.
Acceptance and Integration into mainstream society is crucial to helping them lead meaningful lives.
Providing them a job is the best way to make this a reality."

Chairman, National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre

"When some 20 hearing-impaired joined our supermarket team, it brought out the best in our staff. Several colleagues picked up sign language just to reach out to them.
Let us all go beyond giving the disabled a job at our workplace; let us offer them our understanding and the gift of friendship as well."
Mr Seah Kian Peng,
MP for Marine Parade GRC;
MD, Fairprice Cooperative Ltd

"People are all born different. If we insist that every one must do just as well in what we are not good at, then we will all be handicaps.
But if, instead, we give people the chance to use their strengths to achieve their aspirations, then their weaknesses won't matter as much anymore. And many more stars will be born."
Mr Matthias Yao,
Deputy Speaker of Parliament;
Mayor, South East District
