Breaking Barriers: Addressing the Critical Challenges of Disability Concession in ASEAN Countries

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) have the same legal and socio-economic rights as other normal human beings, as guaranteed in the Constitution of every single country. This paper attempts to answer the empirical questions and provide an overview of granting disability concessions in several selected ASEAN countries. In addition, this paper examines the fundamental impediments that make concessions challenging to deliver. This paper was prepared using simplified Prisma methods using selected literature and legal material. Information regarding concessions for PWD in selected ASEAN countries was obtained from articles, working papers, regulations, and data available on the portals of each country. The data obtained is then processed deductively to answer the issue raised. The paper’s results revealed that the fundamental barriers to disability concession are so intricate that four significant reasons and solutions need to be offered so that PWDs can enjoy the concession to stand straight and survive like normal human beings.
