'Colour Your World With Smile (Book 1)', has gained entry into the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) as the first Braille dental book for the visually impaired community.

The book – co-authored by Universiti Malaya's Faculty of Dentistry lecturers Dr Zahra Naimie, Assoc Prof Dr Norasmatul Akma Ahmad and Dr Selva Malar Munusamy – was published last year. The bilingual book (in English and Bahasa Malaysia) caters to primary school students. It was published in partnership with the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB).
