Disability not an obstacle

JOHOR BARU: Yuszairi Yusof does not allow his disability to get in the way of his passion to teach art and goes the extra mile to encourage his students to develop their interest and passion in the subject.

For the past 13 years, the 42-year-old visual art teacher of SMK Jalan Kota Tinggi in Kluang has been using his own money to help his students who have a passion for art.

Expert at work: Yuszairi painting a mural on the wall of SMK Jalan Kota Tinggi in Kluang.

“Creating an artwork is costly as art supplies don’t come cheap and not all of my students are able to afford the necessary materials.
