A woman, known as “Kak Long 7E” went viral yet again, but this time for insulting the People With Disabilities (PWD) community, and netizens are enraged.

She recently posted a video addressing netizens’ comments regarding her behavior and was talking with a slanted face and walking in a limp like she was crippled, which netizens find unsettling as it seemed like she was insulting the PWD community.
Netizens have branded Kak Long 7E, or her real name Wan Noor Baizura as rude for mocking the OKU community just so she could quickly gain internet fame, without weighing the consequences of her actions.
The video has also made its way on the OKU Sentral Facebook group, which was created by Senator Ras Adiba.
A Facebook user, Khairul Hafiz, who is also disabled has also lodged a police report against Kak Long 7E.
Alhamdulillah. Selesai menunaikan tanggungjawab sebagai warga OKU. Bila OKU dihina, takkan kita nak duduk diam dan terima sahaja. Semoga ada sedikit keadilan dan semoga pelaku mengambil pengajaran.

He hoped that by sharing it on his Facebook, it would serve as a lesson in addition to providing justice to him and other disabled individuals.
“Praise to God. I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a Malaysian citizen with a disability. When someone who has a disability is insulted, we do not keep quiet.
“We don’t just sit here and accept it. May there be justice served, and may she learn her lesson,” his caption reads.
He then shared another photo saying that he had recently met with an investigating officer from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Subang Jaya IPD.
Many in the comment section supported his action and there were even those who said they would make a police report against Kak Long 7E as well, and don’t mind going through the investigation process if it means the PWD community would get justice.
Alhamdulillah. Selesai bertemu Pegawai Penyiasat di Bahagian Siasatan Jenayah. Semoga dipermudahkan urusan kita semua.

We’re all rooting for you, Khairul!
Guys, it is NEVER okay to make fun of other people, especially if they are someone with a disability.
Mocking someone for things entirely out of their control, particularly things that make life a daily struggle is cruel. Yet somehow, these people rise above their disabilities to do great things every single day.
Remember that we are all human and nobody is perfect. Accidents happen. Birth defects happen. Chromosomal reversals happen. The disabilities weren’t a choice.
So, be kind!
