DISABILITY NOT A HINDRANCE

New Straits Times, 11 Oktober 2006

Lokman Abdullah’s disability has not hampered him in any way. His right arm has been amputated and part of his left arm too, but the 48-year-old from Butterworth is almost as dextrous as an able-bodied person.

Using a pair of pliers attached to his prosthetic left forearm, Lokman feeds himself during buka puasa at a restaurant in Bagan Ajam, Butterworth. The former labourer lost his limbs in an accident involving a piling machine at a construction site in Batu Maung, Penang, in 2000. — NST picture by Mohd Kamil Rahim.
