    The document discusses resuming the Central Registry for Disabled Persons in Singapore. It notes that while Singapore ratified the UNCRPD, current disability data is limited and inconsistent due to the closure of the registry in 1987. Cross-country comparisons show other nations like Malaysia also struggle with incomplete disability data due to voluntary registration systems. The document recommends resuming the registry to establish reliable disability information for effective policymaking and ensure an inclusive society as envisioned in the UNCRPD and Enabling Masterplans. A proposed action plan includes a nationwide registration campaign and one-stop registration centers.

    5. PROBLEM IN SINGAPORE
    Closure of Central Registry of Disabled Persons
    No official body in Singapore that is responsible for
    handling registration of people with disabilities
    Reason: number of people who register to use disability
    services provided by government agencies has already
    served the same purpose
    Disability service utilisation rate does not necessarily
    reflect the whole population segment

    Database from Ministry of Health and Education


    Figures are extrapolated from proportion of children
    aged below seven who are diagnosed with impairments
    Number of students in special schools.
    7,000 children in preschool are disabled
    13,000 students aged between seven and 18 years old
    are having disabilities.

    Isolation of Data Collection


    No standardisation of database
    operation of central registry.

    without

    Combination of data in 2010 - 97,200 people with


    disabilities
    Majority (77,200) are aged above 18 years old
    Data from ministries are highly overlapped and
    redundant

    proper

    Input for Policy-making


    Policy-makers might not have complete understanding
    of the scale of the problems
    Inadequate input for policy-making process might cause
    social needs of people with disabilities remain
    unaddressed.

    6. CROSS COUNTRY CASE STUDY (1)


    Malaysia keeps track of the number of PWDs
    through a voluntary-based registration system
    Handled by the Social Welfare Department under the
    Ministry of Women, Family and Community
    Development
    Current number of registered PWDs: 445,006 people
    (2012)
    UN estimate: Between 3 - 4.5 million people
    System does not work as well
    Actual number of PWDs are not registering. Why?

    6. CROSS COUNTRY CASE STUDY (2)


    Reasons behind poor registration numbers
    Lack of awareness
    Social stigma associated with being a PWD
    Negative discrimination
    Malaysia s welfare approach (prior to UNCRPD) has
    led to an altered perceived view of the public towards
    PWDs.

    6. CROSS COUNTRY CASE STUDY (2)


    Suggestions
    Greater awareness promotion efforts
    Improve accessibility for PWDs to get to registration
    centers
    Making registration mandatory for the OKU Kad
    (disability card)
    Campaigns to change/alter negative perceptions of
    the public
