LOW remuneration is one of the reasons why not many are keen on becoming sign language interpreters, said Penang Deaf Association (PDA) president Razman Tan Abdullah.

He said a junior and a senior sign language interpreter would only get a monthly pay of RM900 and RM1,500 respectively, adding that each state had only one or two such interpreters.
