[QUOTE="Chaan Pardesi, post: 145784, member: 7047"] People living with disabilities need all the support that they can get.Sikhism teaches to help humanity, but it is a shame there are "Sikhs" or so they think they are who are hell bent on being cleaner than thou and hurt people who are helpless because of their disabilities.It is thank you to such shameless over egoed and imbecile minded Sikhs that some Sikhs get hurt and then seek religions like Christianity.Shame shame upon such {censored}ic Sikhs who think they are better than the others and take it upon themselves to "sort" the next weaker person..instead of finding a way to help them.Instead of finding shoe covers or washing up the wheels etc they find pleasure in degrading helpless Sikh disabled man.I am ashamed such Gurduaras exist of all places in Malaysia- where their Sikh daughters & sons run off with non Sikhs and get married to non Sikhs, that they cannot do anything about;but BULLY a helpless man.I am so incensed about these cleaner than the rest so called {censored}ic Sikhs, that I cant find enough words to condemn such FOOLS of Sikhs.I wonder what would they do when their sons or daughters or relative have disabilities....?As i read about such fools called "Sikhs " and such "Gurduaras ", I am get very angry.Please read this sad story of Gurdial singh... Their sons and daughters are married in the Gurduaras to non sikhs breaking every rule of the maryada but that they are not worried then.Most of the Gurduaras have Mona parbandhaks who cannot understand a word of Punjabi or know which are the Gurus, but they make themselves the thekedaars of the Sikhs religion to BULLY this man.Shame, shame upon such low life individuals.This needs to be condemned in strong words... I get very angry and ashmed by their acts in the name of Sikhi.Please read this sad story of Gurdial singh........................................ WHEN Gurdial Singh woke up one morning and found blood on his blanket, he realised that something was wrong. Gurdial had been suffering from high fever for three days. His wife rushed him to a nearby government hospital where they found that Gurdial – a diabetic – had been harbouring a nasty blister on his left toe. He was not aware of the bleeding blister because he had no sensation in that area. More bad news was in store: Gurdial was advised to have his leg amputated. “My only concern at that time was to stay alive,” recalled Gurdial, 82. “The five doctors who treated me were very professional,” he added. “They made it clear why amputation was the only way out for me.” His doctors gave him a detailed description of the process – right up until when he would be fitted with a prosthetic leg to enable him to walk again. Looking back, he said there were several key factors which helped him to make the right decision and accept his new life as an amputee. Gurdial is very thankful for the support given by his wife. “She has always been there for me right from day one. I truly appreciate her for it. We made the decision for the amputation together. My wife was with me throughout the ordeal as I struggled to adjust to my new life. “I am also grateful to my in-laws for their moral support. They even helped with the arrangements to have the amputated limb (from the knee below) cremated in a temple whilst I was still in hospital.” Gurdial pointed out that his healthcare professionals also played a big role in his recovery. “The doctors told me everything – from what would happen immediately after the surgery to how long it would take before an artificial limb would be given to me.

He visited a Sikh temple in Kuala Lumpur once where he was not allowed into the dining room because of his prosthetic leg. A temple official pointed to a sign on the wall which said: “No Shoes Allowed!” When he tried to explain that he really had no choice because of his mobility problems, he was told: “A rule is a rule!” Gurdial had another unpleasant experience when he visited a Sikh temple in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

The person offered to take the food and serve him outside. However, not wanting to be humiliated, Gurdial turned him down. Gurdial pointed out that temples that practise such policies should be more sensitive to the needs of people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a check with a committee member from the temple confirmed that they do not practise any form of discrimination against the disabled. Anyone who experiences such treatment is advised to contact the committee at once.
