Wan Zainun was born with cataracts in both eyes which ultimately caused her visual impairment. Then, in 1971 at the age of Fifteen, severe illness caused her to become totally deaf.
Although she did well in her studies, she had to content herself undergoing training as a Masseur after leaving school. Thus, her dreams of going to university were dashed.
Subsequently, she found employment with a private company as a Masseur. However, she often faced transport difficulties and she was exploited by her boss. Nonetheless, this did not stop the company from throwing her out in 1991 with the excuse that she was the one who had requested to leave.
Currently, Wan Zainun is unemployed and she does not have a house of her own. She longs to be able to do something useful and to possess her own dwelling place.
She hopes that with the Compassionate Scheme, her dreams will be fulfilled.
