KUALA LUMPUR - The odds may be stacked against Malaysia’s first female disabled election candidate Noraishah Mydin Abdul Aziz, who is taking on Umno stalwart Tengku Adnan Mansor in the Putrajaya ward, but she is no stranger to challenges.
“It’s completely pointless for me to be in Parliament if I cannot look after the weakest and the most disenfranchised of my society,” she told The Straits Times in an interview on Tuesday. “It is extremely nonsensical to discriminate against people based on their disabilities” said Dr Noraishah. Dr Noraishah however is made of sterner stuff and remains undaunted. And she doesn’t mince her words.
