Several minutes later during the Sitting of the National Assembly, Minister of State of Youth Empowerment, Ageing, and Disabilities, the Honourable Isalean Phillip, emphasised the government’s pledge to continue breaking down barriers “to ensure that every person, regardless of their abilities, can fully participate in the various aspects of nation building.”

“… We are committed to strengthening policies and programmes that increase awareness, promote accessibility, education, and employment opportunities for individuals with Down Syndrome.” Honourable Phillip stated. “As a society, I want to encourage all of us to increase our understanding of persons living with Down Syndrome and commit to building a more inclusive future for all.”

She listed six practical ways to promote inclusiveness that the public can practice. These include promoting understanding and awareness of disabilities; encouraging social participation through various activities; adapting communication and speech; celebrating persons’ strengths and achievements; fostering independence for persons with disabilities, and advocating for inclusive education where classrooms are modified to promote learning for persons with disabilities alongside their peers.



“By creating more inclusive spaces and practices, society can help people with Down Syndrome lead fuller, more integrated lives. May we learn and grow to see the people, before the disability,” said Minister of State Phillip.
