Nur Amiratul Farahin Ab Rahman, 24, may be deaf, but she isn't allowing her hearing impairment to stand in her way of success.

The Kota Tinggi, Johor-based artist won first place in the painting category at the Malaysian Council for Rehabilitation's (MCR) Abilympics Malaysia competition in 2018. In May next year, she will represent the country at the 10th International Abilympics Vocational Skills Competition to be held in Moscow.
