IPOH: He was born blind, but that did not stop Azhar Ibrahim from opening his own workshop to repair motorcycles in Batu Gajah. After learning about handling and fixing bikes from a friend, Azhar set up a motorbike repair workshop in 2008. In 2013, under the Business Incen­tive Assistance Scheme for Disabled Persons, Azhar received some RM11,000 to help him develop his business. “As children we earned our own money, so I did not want to rely on my parents,” he said. His workshop is located in front of his parents’ house, but Azhar lives alone in the shop.
