PM Lee: “Are people with special needs just there to be helped? Or should they not be people who matter in our society, who are enabled to contribute to our society in full measure?” Enabling special needs persons to participate in society will require us to go the extra mile to install the necessary facilities for the disabled, provide the extra training for the mentally handicapped and accept that they may not be able to meet typical productivity targets. These are economic sacrifices that we must be prepared to make if we are to live up to our Christian calling. The Catholic Social Teaching states: In line with our dignity, each of us has a right to havea say and take action in what determines our future, whether as individuals or in groups. This applies to all realms of life - economic, social, political, faith and culture. In fact, participation is not just a right but a responsibility as well.
