SHAH ALAM – Zaitun Ibrahim was born with no arm, legs and no citizenship card despite being born in Malaysia, making her ineligible for person with disabilities (OKU) card.

The 35-year-old also missed out on her schooling life.

Today, Perak DAP chief Nga Kor Ming with three other leaders visited Zaitun to hand out a confectionary-making machine worth RM3,500 and RM2,500 cash.

Despite her challenges, she is well-known for being self-reliant and for selling doughnuts and kuih muih at Padang Polo Ipoh.

The handouts by DAP were given to ease her burden and boost her business, said Nga.
