Mohd Raffi said both he and his wife have lost their income as masseurs since March 18 and have been relying on help from their friends and non-governmental organisations for essential items.“We only received goods and supplies. All from NGOs and other people. That we are very thankful for,” he said.
For the PPR’s Block D residential committee chairman, Endi Susilo Tasiron, 34, the sizable blind community here makes the dynamics of residents interesting as other residents are able to help the less fortunate.“They also felt this place is safe, as it is a gated community and they feel safe living here.Endi Susilo Tasiron and his wife Nur Alia Maisarah Ong Abdullah pose for photo during an interview at their home in PPR Lembah Subang 2.
Malaysian Foundation for the Blind chief executive officer Silatul Rahim Dahman said it is important to keep the blind community occupied with something to do.
