Nice idea to do this, especially knowing how unfriendly Singapore is to people with disabilities. I feel though that it would be much better if this is sponsored by a company with the aim of making the designs a reality. Otherwise, it will merely be yet another futile exercise merely done for the sake of generating publicity.
