Hmm...I LOVE THIS! The state government have the heart for everyone...
Do not be surprised the next time you visit a government department In Penang, and the front desk officers greet and converse with you in Mandarin, Hokkien, Tamil or even in sign language.
This effort State Health, Welfare and Caring Society Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said was an on-going process to train officers manning the front desk to speak different languages.
He said the programme started last year, with 40 people attending each session at any one time.
“We want these officers to be able to serve the able and disabled in a comfortable and easy way,” he told reporters after launching a three-day basic anatomy and physiology course for members of the Penang Blind Development Association at a hotel here yesterday.
Phee also said more opportunities need to be given to the blind especially by the hospitality industry.
“St Nicholas Home have their own training centre and massage rooms. This is one area where the state government can help by promoting the place to tourists,” he added.
