"Dalam Kehadiran Sofiah" is the first novel that i manage to read in this year. The story is about a couple that sacrify their happiness to grow up their child named Sofiah who is a cerebral palsy kid. The story mainly focus on the problems faced by parents to grow up their child with special need. it is a nice story and should be read by everyone, so that they understand about the special kids. Often, many people sees a special kid like a disgusted object. They didn't really understand about them. Thats the main problem in malaysians nowadays. at overseas the goverment over there has build lot of specialities for disabled peoples. even the publics over there has took a good care of them. But in malaysia so far we can count with fingers on the emnities that build for them. As human beings we should change our view on disabled people and should treat them as a normal human beings in the world.
