KUALA LUMPUR: The government’s takeover of the Bandar Malaysia development, aimed at ensuring optimal utilisation of strategic lands for people-oriented projects as outlined in the Budget 2024, will result in various benefits for the people, says an academician.
For the past two months, Manoghayatiri Manogaran, 37, has been diligently honing her vocal skills in preparation for the Malaysian Association for the Blind’s Deepavali charity concert at Petaling Jaya Civic Centre this Saturday.“My choice spans decades , and caters to a diverse audience. I believe that music has no age boundaries. Hopefully, they will like my selection of songs.
She’s also in awe of Indonesian blind singer, Putri Ariani, 17, who mesmerised the audience with her awe-inspiring performance on 2023. Putri Ariani went on to secure the fourth spot at the finals of the popular reality TV competition. By pursuing their passions, the blind can contribute to arts, culture and various industries, enriching the world with their creativity.Manoghayatiri’s journey into music began at the age of 10 when she attended vocal training lessons in her hometown. Over the years, she has performed at about 30 events, for MAB and other organisations. She has even shared the stage with popular Indian playback singer Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, who is also blind.
“Our goal is to equip the visually-impaired with skills to enhance their marketability. We are partnering with Akademi Seni Budaya Warisan dan Kebangsaan to create a training programme to teach traditional music, singing and vocals to the blind. He emphasises that one of the biggest challenges the blind faces is gaining employment due to misconceptions and prejudices. There is a common notion that the blind can’t perform duties because they cannot see, he adds.
“White canes are not just tools; they’re a symbol of independence, enabling the blind to navigate the world with confidence. We recommend white canes as vital safety tools for the visually-impaired. These canes – sourced from Hong Kong, India, and Canada – are distributed to those who require them,” Thomas said.
