Scaling one peak after another
MISS OH Siew May, 38, walks with an awkward gait and speaks with great difficulty.
She was born with cerebral palsy, a condition caused by brain damage which affects her muscular control and coordination. Her disability has made her an easy target for taunts, cruel jokes and discrimination.
As if her lot in life were not bad enough, she has also experienced more than her fair share of tragedy and difficulty. A high fever rendered one of her four siblings mentally impaired while cancer robbed her of her doting father and her best friend.
However, Miss Oh chooses not to wallow in self pity but to chase and live her dreams. In 2005, she successfully climbed Mount Kinabalu in East Malaysia, which at 4,095m above sea level is one of the highest mountains in South-east Asia.
