Consultant and trainer Dr Ruziah Ghazali, 60, may be a person of short stature, but she stands tall in her focus on social work, particularly in addressing the needs of people with disabilities (OKU).

Over the last three decades, she has achieved a great deal, from publishing a string of research papers and two books (Expediting Your Quantitative Research and Indahkah Bercinta Lagi) to being honoured as the Figure of The Felda Generation 2022 and Negri Sembilan’s Social Welfare Department 2021 Figure of The Person With Disabilities.
