Universiti Malaysia
Pahang (UMP)’s
5th Convocation
was a joyous and
historical moment
for its 1,030 graduates.
However, it was the most
celebrated occassion for Siti
Hawa Apandi, 21.
She is physically
impaired but she stood
tall among her peers upon
receiving her scroll during the
convocation held on October 9,
2010.
The convocation was
graced by UMP’s Chancellor His
Highness Duli Yang Teramat
Mulia Tengku Mahkota Pahang,
Tengku Abdullah Al-Haj Ibni
Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-
Musta’in Billah.
Siti Hawa has Spinal
Muscular Atrophy (SMA),
a neuromuscular disease
characterised by degeneration
of motor neurons, resulting in
progressive muscular atrophy
(wasting away) and weakness.
She has SMA since
small and is unable to move.
Due to her condition Siti Hawa
has to be fully depended on
her mother, Zaidah Tamjis, 47.
However, the plucky
young lady was a very
competitive student and this
was reflected in her being
named in the dean’s list several
times.
