Disabled teacher proves a point


AN EQUAL chance was all Shamshad Begham Othman, 46, needed to prove herself. She received her Masters degree in the Teaching of English as A Second Language (TESL) at the 20th International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) convocation ceremony last week. 

A high fever when she was three years old resulted in Shamshad losing her ability to walk. However, that did not deter her from pursuing her dream.
