'Being blind is not a deterrent for me to continuously fuel my passion for teaching.'

PETALING JAYA, Sept 3 — Ruth Yong Wang Theen has always believed that education should be accessible to everyone regardless of their background.

“And my love for teaching grew when I started teaching after losing my previous job as a telemarketer due to the movement control order.” On the interesting aspect about South-east Asian studies, Yong said that the subject allowed her to be closer to her refugee students. She also said that teaching through online platforms such as Zoom gave her the liberty to teach from the comforts of her home in Kuching.

“It gave me an opportunity to help blind adults, those who are like me, to understand English concepts such as phrases and then progressing towards sentences. “Sometimes, during breaks in between lessons, my students would ask English riddles, and all of us would have to guess and this creates a lot of fun during our online lessons.
