Guide dogs ● More being done to educate public about access
The Straits Times|October 21, 2024
We thank Mr Muhammad Dzul Azhan Sahban for highlighting the need for greater awareness of guide dogs and assistance dogs that support persons with disabilities (More public awareness about guide dogs needed, Oct 16).

In June, the Ministry of Social and Family Development announced that public access for assistance dogs supporting individuals who are physically disabled, deaf or hard-of-hearing will be the same as that of guide dogs today.

This includes access to public housing, public transport and licensed food establishments.

In addition to government efforts to expand public access for assistance dogs, greater public awareness is needed to shape societal attitudes and encourage positive actions towards greater inclusivity.
