Brace yourself for my long complains!
I was accompanying my dad to meet his acupuncture doctor. It's a regular visit every three to four month, every time we are at Jakarta.
This doctor located inside a mall in the North part if the city. The mall is called Pluit Village, formerly known as Megamal Pluit.
It's a tipycal of second-grade mall if you compare it to Plaza Senayan or Plaza Indonesia. But that's not the main teason for the poor facility.
My dad doesn't have a strong pair of legs. Every time he comes to the mall, we have to put him on wheelchair.
And you know, people in wheelchair need the elevator to climb to the top floor.
Unfortunately, the doctor is located at the very top floor which is the 4th.
And today we found out that the two elevators are out of service. They simply just put barriers in front of the door.
So, we were trying to find another solution which is taking another elevator located inside Matahari. And guess what? Tadah! It is also out of service!
So, here we are in a megapolitan city of Jakarta. Where the service for handicap people is simply not provided at all.
And I wonder, how do handicap people in here go everywhere? I mean, they need to go out too! And with no support like this, are they supposed to just stay at home?
*long sigh*
