PETALING JAYA: The country’s first ever English-Bahasa Malaysia braille dictionary is in the pipeline.
The development of the bilingual lexicon is among the initial programmes planned in the memorandum of understanding signed by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the Malaysian Foundation for the Blind .
It will also see, among others, a student industrial training placement programme for Bachelor of Education with Honours as well as courses for professional education certificates for the blind. UKM's education faculty said in a statement Monday that “OKU-friendly” is among the university's core values and this is shown by its caring approach towards people with disabilities in various categories such as autism, Down syndrome, as well as hearing, physical and visual disabilities.
“In the same vein, the MFB, which was established in 2013, has successfully provided various services including vocational skills training programmes, ICT training, job and religious guidance and other relevant services such as Abdullah Ibnu Maktum's Umrah package which is OKU-friendly.
