Rohana Angah is 12 years old but you could easily mistake her for a five-year-old girl. The orang asli child weighs 12.4kg and is only about 80cm tall because she suffers from malnutrition. Her eyes are dazed and distant, her mental impairment a result of a fit caused by an electrolyte imbalance in her body last year.
Sadly, her stunted body is not that unusual where she lives.
