Speech impediment no barrier to SPM success

KOTA KINABALU: SPM high scorer Muhammad Nabil Izzat Mohammad Talip may find it hard to communicate or speak to people, even his parents – but that has never prevented the 18-year-old from excelling in his studies.

The 18-year-old, who achieved five As and one B in the SPM exam, takes some time to respond when spoken to and usually gives just a one- or two-word answer.
