PUTRAJAYA, Oct 16 — The registration of persons with disabilities (OKU) follows the OKU Registration Guidelines (2019 Amendment), jointly developed by the Social Welfare Department (JKM) and the Health Ministry.

In a statement today, JKM said the process also involves medical specialists who sit on the OKU Registration Committee under the National Council for Persons with Disabilities.

The department said the guidelines ensure the evaluation and registration process is conducted professionally, systematically and based on established criteria.

Medical officers, practitioners or specialists assess an individual’s functionality and disability using the OKU Registration Application Form (BPPOKU Amendment 2/2019), it said.
