In a society plagued by unwanted pregnancies,juvenile delinquencies and academic underachievers,these individuals are rare.Despite their humble background and shortcomings,they don't just sit down and whine or throw bricks at the sky.Just like Fandi Ahmad,they identified their God-given talents and made full use of it.Dont be utterly disapointed if your ward fails academically.Even the most handicapped individuals have some form of special abilities.Once,you've identified your strengths,you can become like these individuals.They are my heroes

Oh boy, I am so humbled by your post. I sure hope to be an inspiration to other fellow Singaporean Malay Muslims who are discovering their fullest potential. Certainly, each one of us have our own strengths, and only by working together as a team/community can we make positive changes in our society and become stronger.
