1. Approach to building
Although there were many slopes around the building to enter the food centre, there were a lack of slopes inside. There is a small heighted walkway between the inside of the food centre and outside street. Thus more slopes can be added inside so that disabled will be able to travel into the food centre conveniently.
Another point to note is that the slopes are smooth all around and it may cause difficulty when wheeling into the food centre. A suggestion would be to make the slopes straight and secure.
2. CHANGE IN LEVEL
There were many ramps provided but not all ramps had coloured bands indicating the change in level. The suggestion is to paint a different coloured line across the ramp to indicate this change.
3. FLOOR SURFACES
The area around the sinks are all tiles. Yes they are easy to maintain but when wet may cause it to be slippery and hazardous. A suggestion would be to put a mat on such areas as changing the entire surface would be too costly and time-consuming.
4. Protruding Objects
The protruding objects block space around the walkway. A wider corridor should be considered. Also, telephones protruding along the walkways between stalls can be dangerous especially to wheelchair-bounded users and children where the phone would be their head-height.
Furthermore, there are hazardous objects protruding from the walls.
Sufficient and efficient management has to be carried out to ensure that there are no hazards protruding from the walls and warnings should be placed when objects protruding are at dangerous heights. The telephone would be better placed if there was a table underneath it instead.

5. SEATING ARRANGEMENT
More seats can be provided to have 40% of the capacity with fixed seating. These fixed seats will cater to the ambulant disabled as well as family/friends who may accompany them.

1. SANITARY PROVISIONS
The closets should be checked and made sure that the seat protector is placed back after a maintenance.
2. PASSENGER LIFT
The lift car had grab bars fixed on sides but NOT on rear end of the lift car. They should have additional railing fixed in the rear end too.
