Wheelchair friendly state
Singapore is considered a wheelchair-friendly state because of its efforts to make public spaces and transportation more accessible to people with disabilities. The government has implemented various initiatives, such as building ramps and lifts in public buildings, providing accessible public transportation, and ensuring that new buildings meet accessibility standards.
The city has a strong tradition of respecting diversity and promoting social harmony. This has helped creat a sense of community among people with disabilities, who are often supported by family, friends, and volunteers.
