SILA is a network of people with disabilities committed to promoting non-handicapping environments in Penang. The group was formed in February 1998 a result of the Sustainable Penang Initiative roundtable on Social Justice organised by Socio-economic & Environmental Research Institute (SERI). SILA is significantly multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious, representing the main cultural groups in Malaysia. With the movement growing by the week, SILA is likely to become a permanent network for empowering the various organisations in Penang. In the Malay language, "sila" means "please" and denotes access, as in "please come in". SILA stands for "Sustainable Independent Living and Access". With ACCESS, people with disabilities can have better prospects of LIVING and INDEPENDENCE, and so be able to sustain themselves physically, mentally and spiritually, thus contributing towards social SUSTAINABILITY.
