A visually impaired tissue seller and her college-going daughter have resumed their rudely disrupted daily routine after a week of counselling since a viral video clip showing her depositing money at a bank drew public abuse and disrupted her daily routine.
Malaysian Visually Handicapped Entrepreneurs Development Organisation (PERKUM) president Noor Hazira Mohd Noor said Noraslinda Rajoni, 42, had resumed selling tissues while her daughter, 20, has gone back to College of Early Childhood Development (KPAKK) in Damansara Damai, Selangor.
"After intensive counselling, they have overcome their fears about going out of the house," she told Bernama after the Dewan Tengku Abdul Aziz opening ceremony at PERKUM's office by its patron Panglima Perang Pahang Tengku Abdul Aziz Sultan Abu Bakar here Sunday.
Earlier, a video of Noraslinda depositing a large sum of money in a bank made its rounds on social media and she was accused of pretending to be a visually handicapped to sell tissues for profit in Johor Bahru.
Noraslinda's daughter who is also visually impaired and had skipped classes to keep her company came forward to explain that she was indeed visually handicapped and most of the money she deposited at the bank belonged to her friends.
Johor Bahru Social Welfare Department officer Manayi Ibrahim then issued a statement saying that Noraslinda was indeed extremely shortsighted and was a valid holder of a card for the handicapped. -- Bernama
