Kuala Lumpur, Nov 19 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has sent greetings to K. Bathmavathi, a physically challenged translator who took oath as senator Monday.

Rohani in her Twitter account this morning thanked Najib for selecting Bathmavathi to represent people with disabilities in Malaysia.

Bathmavathi, 59, a member of the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (OKU) as well as is a writer and a freelance translator was appointed as OKU Senator to replace visually-impaired economist Prof Datuk Dr Ismail Md Salleh who died of a heart attack in 2009.

Meanwhile in another tweet, Najib said sports could be a good career choice.

“What’s important is there should be effort and discipline,” he said.

Najib also congratulated national rider Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah who was once again crowned Moto 2 champion at the CEV Repsol Spanish Motorcycle Championship at the Ricardo Tomo Circuit in Valencia, Spain, Sunday.

The Petronas Raceline Malaysia racer clinched his second win after his first victory in the Navarra Circuit in Spain, in September.
