Disabled man earns $5,400 monthly

WHEN he was just 4, Mr Mohd Arsyad Mohd Yusuf was struck with muscular atrophy. Since then, he has been in a wheelchair.

But his disability did not rob him of his desire for self-improvement. He learned how to use the Internet to make a living.

Today, at 23, Mr Mohd Arsyad makes RM13,000 ($5,400) a month from designing web pages, selling e-books that he wrote, and giving motivational talks.

The Kedah native was in Singapore as a guest speaker at a financial management workshop.
