Information Communication Technology (ICT) is important to measure the development of the nation and the people. Malaysia as a democratic nation has to deliver equal services to the people without any boundaries and discrimination. Nowadays, knowledge of Information Communication Technology is crucial and become one of the measurement tools to maximize work and task. Failure to catch up ICT movement will cause digital divide, which is the phenomenon of gap exists between people who have access to ICT and who did not have access. This paper aims to determine the government initiative in terms of policy, law and regulations, infrastructure, support organization and training, whether it is appropriate or inappropriate with the needs of disabled people.
