JAKARTA - Puan Maharani again reminded the importance of support for people with disabilities. The chairman of the DPR emphasized that the government must bridge the disabled group that wants to channel its talents.

"I believe that disability does not reduce anyone in reaping an achievement. They should not be underestimated just because they have limitations, that is precisely their strength," said Puan, Thursday, June 7.

For example, the achievement of disability groups in reaping achievements is the success of Princess Ariani, who is a disabled singer from Indonesia. He had a golden opportunity to appear in America's Got Talent 2023.

Ariani's daughter amazed the judges with her melodious voice while playing the piano. Even the judges and the audience who watched her gave a standing opportunity. Simon Cowell admitted that he really liked the melodious voice of Putri who sang his own song. According to Simon, 17-year-old Princess has a talent in writing songs and has a characteristic in singing.

"Women's success is one clear proof. That if we consistently fight, it will certainly produce achievements. Despite the limitations he has, I really appreciate Putri's achievements," explained Puan.

'Women's success is also proof that people with disabilities can excel and make the nation proud. And apart from Putri, many people have also shown achievements for the country, such as in sports competitions," continued Puan.

As is known, Putri won the Golden Buzzer America's Got Talent 2023 which is a ticket to the live semifinals of the talent search event in the United States. The singer and songwriter entitled "Loneliness" also won Indonesia's Got Talent by becoming the first winner in the second season, namely 2014.

Puan also invites all young people who have limitations like Putri not to be discouraged. He asked disabled young people to make Putri's achievement as a breaker in achieving their goals.

"Women's appearance can inspire and motivate the younger generation. With the limitations they have, they do not reverse their intention to achieve their goals. I invite all Indonesian people to support Putri Ariani," said Puan.

On the other hand, the former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture revealed that the role of the Government is very important to facilitate the needs of disability groups. With special attention to people with disabilities, said Puan, it is hoped that this can realize equality and inclusion for all Indonesian citizens.

"Every individual has a unique potential that must be respected and developed, regardless of the physical or mental limitations they face," said the first woman to serve as Chair of the DPR RI.

Therefore, Puan encourages the Government to increase programs that support the potential of children with disabilities. Because concrete support can be a real step for the government's alignment with this group of people who are often marginalized.

"Including how to improve the infrastructure needed to facilitate nursery and training in various fields, such as arts, sports, technology, and entrepreneurship," said Puan.

If the State provides adequate facilities, the disability group is said to be able to feel supported and empowered to fully develop their talents. Puan believes, many disabled children have proud achievements.

"With equal opportunities, they can show extraordinary abilities they have and make valuable contributions to the nation and state," said Puan.
