In the second of our two-part series to look at how caring Malaysians are towards the blind, M. KRISHNAMOORTHY, who took to the streets posing as a blind man, and JASON SUNDRAM, talk to affected individuals and groups to find out more about their plight. 

M. MOOGANA, 16, a blind student in Form Three, is not only the brunt of jokes among her schoolmates but also gets bullied and pushed around at school. She says putting up with her physical constraints is easier than the emotional problems that she faces daily.
