The communications minister says his ministry is exploring ways to unlock the potential of visually impaired individuals in the music, hosting, and broadcasting fields.

KUALA LUMPUR: Communications minister Fahmi Fadzil has called for increased efforts to provide more opportunities for people with visual impairment in the creative sector.

Speaking to reporters here, Fahmi noted that many individuals with disabilities – including those who are visually impaired – possess strong creative talents that remain underutilised due to limited platforms and opportunities.

“These talents deserve space not only for self-expression, but also as a sustainable source of income,” he said after a town hall session with representatives from the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB).
