The composer Azmeer and TV3 to apologize to the disabled community in general,especially Down's Syndrome person,child and parents on his comments towards a group performing in a TV3 Show,his comments are " like a buch Down's Syndrome idiots" or in Malay "budak-budak Tapaw ni bodoh-bodoh Down Syndrome" . We want them to make a public apologize thru press and TV statement. Down Syndrome community have the right to be respected and cared about. We stand together in stating that our kids are educated, smart enough,able to do chores and have the ability manage themselves even though they are mentally challenge. We want the Malaysians to know that the education level has changed so much and we worked hard in taking care & made sure they are given the same chance like the others. We deserve some respect . Any impropriate act and words should be blamed on the lack of self etiquette and manners.

This is so rude. No one should ever use that word like that. Does he not have any shame? Apologize now.

Disgusting behavior from someone on national tv. Very unprofessional and hurtful to so many families who work so hard.
