KUALA LUMPUR, JULY 2026 – Losing his sight at a young age did not stop Mohamad Nur Affiq Mohd Radzi from developing the practical skills needed to repair and wire electrical appliances.
The 39-year-old from Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, lost his sight completely at the age of 20 after being diagnosed with glaucoma while he was still studying. Instead of allowing the condition to end his ambitions, he adapted to his circumstances and continued learning.
Mohamad Nur Affiq has since attracted attention on TikTok, where he regularly broadcasts live sessions showing himself repairing electrical appliances and carrying out wiring work. His videos have drawn interest because they demonstrate how experience, determination and suitable tools can help a person overcome significant physical challenges.
His interest in electrical wiring began during childhood. He frequently watched his uncle, who worked as a wireman, and gradually learned some of the basic principles involved in electrical work.
He also experimented with simple wiring tasks while growing up, allowing him to build practical knowledge from an early age.
The eldest of four siblings said his previous experience and understanding of common equipment problems now guide him when identifying faults. Rather than relying on sight, he assesses appliances based on his knowledge of how different types of damage affect their performance.
He also uses specially selected tools to assist with electrical work. Among them is a voltage tester that produces a sound when it detects an electrical current, allowing him to determine whether electricity is flowing through a component or wire.
Although his skills have gained considerable attention online, Mohamad Nur Affiq explained that electrical wiring and repair work are not his primary source of income. He mainly uses the knowledge to assist himself, family members and people close to him.
His experience highlights the importance of accessibility and adaptive equipment in helping persons with disabilities perform technical activities. It also challenges assumptions about the types of practical skills that blind and visually impaired individuals can learn.
Mohamad Nur Affiq’s journey shows that losing a physical ability does not necessarily mean losing the opportunity to learn, contribute or develop specialised skills.
