When Rishan Ponraj Sivaraj, 23, heard about the Malaysian Association for the Blind’s (MAB) first-ever typing contest for visually-impaired folks, he decided to put his typing skills to the test.

Rishan, a bank management trainee, never expected that he would beat the other participants and emerge as the winner of the Black Screen Typist Competition (BSTC).
