Entahlah apa yang berlaku semalam

Semalam, aku telah uninstall Win-rar dan win-zip yang sudah tersedia ada di komputer setelah direformat.  Maklumlah, aku nak menaiktarafkan kedua-dua perisian itu.

 

Setelah aku memasang kedua-dua program itu semula, aku bukalah perisian skype.  Dan tak lama selepas tu, si Jeruk kawan aku pun memanggil aku.  Elok saja aku nak menjawab panggilan Jeruk, komputer dah sangkut.  Aku pun, seperti biasalah restart komputer tu.

 

Agak lama juga aku menunggu.  Tapi, komputer tak juga bersuara.  Alamak!  Apa sudah berlaku ya?  Aku menekan bebutang power untuk menutup komputer dan membuka kembali.

 

Tapi, masih juga sama.  Tiada suara.  Wah!  Apa sudah berlaku ya?  Wah!  Susah ni.  Mungkin cakera keras sudah corrupted agaknya.  Ini sudah kes naya ni.

 

Kebetulan, anak saudara aku datang ke bilik.  Aku meminta dia tengok, apa dah berlaku.  Aku diberitahu, komputer memang dah start.  Dia sekarang berada di desktop.

 

Aku suruh dia cuba masuk ke volume control.  Dia cuma masuk ke volume control dengan menggunakan tetikus.  Tapi, tak boleh masuk.  Dia beritahu, ada error, “kno driver audio”.  Alamak, apa sudah berlaku ya?

 

Aku pun cubalah install audio driver realtec yang aku update hari tu.  Selepas restart, masih juga masalah yang sama.  Wah, ini sudah kes naya.

 

Kemudian, aku menyuruh anak saudara aku masuk ke bahagian system restore.  Dia pulak tak tahu macammana nak masuk ke system restore tu.  Maka, terpaksalah aku bantu dia untuk masuk ke system restore tersebut.

 

Setelah system restore dilakukan, akhirnya, komputer bersuara semula.  Wah, nasib baiklah tak berlaku apa-apa.  Lega rasanya.

 

Itulah.  Sehebat mana pun orang buta dalam komputer, kalau komputer tu dah membisu seribu bahasa, jadi bodoh jugak dia.

Rotary Club award for blind IT instructor

Rotary Club award for blind IT instructor

By PRIYA MENON

BEING blind did not deter 30-year-old Fadzlin Hiezrie Abd Rahman from learning a skill he enjoys dabbling in — information technology.

Born with only slight vision, he was drawn to computer games when he was nine.

Later, when he lost his vision completely, his school bought a new computer and he dedicated his time to learning to use it.

"In those days, computers were not equipped to help blind people learn how to use them," he recalled.

Proud moment: Nikki presenting the Vocational Service Award to Fadzlin (second from left) while Sajeet (right) and the rest of the MAB staff look on.

Nevertheless, the computers did come with a speech card and the Word Perfect programme.

He then joined the Penang St Nicholas School for the blind in 1995 and honed his skills on the keyboard.

Fadzlin began teaching individuals and corporations on a freelance basis in 2003 and joined the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB) in 2006.

"I decided to dedicate my teaching skills to the MAB and help those who needed our assistance," he added.

Recently, the bashful bachelor was acknowledged for his contribution to society by the Rotary Club of Bangsar.

Fadzlin received the Vocational Services Award at the MAB office where he teaches short courses to participants.

He has five to 10 clients in each course that lasts five days and costs RM50 for an individual and RM500 per person for companies.

"The toughest people to teach are the blind senior citizens as they find it harder to understand and grasp the concepts," Fadzlin said.

Another group of people who need special attention are those with more than one disability, like those who have both hearing and visual impairment.

For those who are blind, like Fadzlin, a speech card is enough for them to hear the command and words typed on the computer.

"However, for those who are deaf and blind, we have to resort to a special programme with braille," he explained.

He also mans the Yahoo Trainers Corner, which is a portal that allows trainers to come together to share tips and ideas on teaching IT. The group now has more than 300 members, of whom 80% are locals.

The blind can also access other IT services at the MAB and it costs only RM1 per session.

There is also the Cyber Club where members can use the facilities but will need to pay RM12 only per year.

Fadzlin's painstaking efforts and patience in guiding those who need the expertise has helped most of his clients land stable jobs.

"He has done a great service for the community and we wanted to honour him on his own home­ground," said Rotary Club of Bangsar vocational service director Sajeet Soudagar.

Sajeet added that Fadzlin had been on the list since last year so they decided to add his name to the list of recipients this year.

The awards presentation is a yearly activity that began when the club was established more than 25 years ago.

According to club president Nikki Sidhu, there are two other recipients of the award this year.

"We had a meeting three weeks ago when Rotary members could nominate those who were eligible for the award," Nikki said.

A week after the nominations, the board members gathered and decided on the three recipients.

The other two recipients are A.G.P. Vijeyaledchumi, 60, who has been working as a security and traffic control personnel at SMK Assunta in Petaling Jaya since 1980, and Mohd Aizat Yap Abd Rahman, a helper at the Royal Selangor Club who collects can rings for recycling.

"Aizat has been collecting the can rings for three years now and once a month, he delivers the rings to us," Nikki added.

Rotary Bangsar then sends the collected rings to an organisation in Thailand to be processed into artificial legs for patients.

The organisation in Thailand receives the rings from all parts of the world.

Complexes becoming aware

Published on: Sunday, November 01, 2009
Kota Kinabalu: Where considering the needs of the disabled are concerned, 1Borneo Hypermall has certainly blazed the trail for others to follow.

Visually impaired shoppers and visitors have the benefit of lifts with Braille buttons on the lower ground floor, ground floor, first floor and second floor.

Braille is a system of reading and writing for the blind, representing the letters of the alphabet by raised dots which they can read by touching them.

State Community & Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Hjh Azizah Mohd Dun was impressed with the facilities provided by 1Borneo Management Corporation Sdn Bhd
inside and outside the hypermall. Disabled-friendly toilets are also available on the lower ground floor, ground floor, first floor and second floor.

"I also commend them for providing special parking lots for OKUs on the lower ground and second floor. It is a good effort. And there are signages to this
effect. However, there is ample room for improvement.

"Being OKU-friendly will attract more people to the hypermall and this will boost business," she said after a guided tour of the premises.

On-the-spot briefing was given by its Assistant General Manager (Centre Management) Jefveleon Rengga and Operation Manager/Chief Security Officer Leben
Siddarth.

Five wheelchairs are also on standby at the information counter which are lent out to those who need the facility for sightseeing or shopping.

"They are trying their best to make 1Borneo as OKU-friendly as possible. I can see that the management corporation is serious about the provisions in the
Persons With Disabilities Act 2008. I am happy they have taken note of the necessary rectification to be done. I think the ramp is a little too steep for
wheelchair-bound individuals.

And perhaps the drop at the toilet floor level can be corrected accordingly," Azizah said.

Siddarth said 1Borneo Hypermall is on par with KL standard. "We did a market survey and realised the importance of catering to the needs of persons with
disabilities," he said.

At the Centre Point Sabah (CPS) Complex, the entrance to the sixth floor from the car park has been modified to improve accessibility to the shopping mall,
particularly for disabled people.

"There is no split level at the entrance and we have installed an automatic sliding-door. Wheelchair users can wheel themselves up a tiled ramp with a gentle
gradient that serves as the walkway. It is very spacious on the sixth floor, and from here, they can go to any floor, using the lift.

"The lift door is wide enough for wheelchairs," said the complex' Commercial Management Manager Lynda Wong. Previously, a removable wooden ramp was used
but it has since been discarded. A Daily Express check found the shopping mall has two lifts meant for the use of the visually impaired. Here, too, dotted
shapes are used to indicate the "open" and "close" signs on the operating panel. Likewise, dotted figures to show the respective floors which the blind
can read by touching and feeling them.

Wong said it is in the planning stage to provide toilets for disabled persons in line with the requirements of the Persons With Disabilities Act 2008.

Presently, the Karamunsing Complex is only partially disabled-friendly, according to its General Manager R.V. Varan.

"We have ramps on the lower ground and at the main entrance. The complex is undergoing renovation, and it is part of our plan to provide toilets and allocate
parking lots on each floor for the disabled," he said.

A visit to Wisma Merdeka found no toilets available for the disabled. This was not surprising because the shopping complex is more than 20 years old and
the guidelines on building requirement for disabled persons were not in place then.

However, there are ramps at the front and back entrances to facilitate the movement of wheelchair users.
