THROUGHOUT his life, Thavasothy S. Mailvaganam Pillai, who was born blind, has not only been meeting expectations but exceeding them.
The lecturer at a private college had to adapt to online teaching and learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic and movement control order.
“I had to learn how to use an online teaching and learning platform fast during the first MCO last year.
“I have two adult children, who are doctors, who helped me, ” said Thavasothy who has a BA from Universiti Malaya and MEd from Australia.
The 69-year-old, who retired as a history teacher from SMK (P) Taman Petaling, said his late father, who was an engineer with Keretapi Tanah Melayu, was his biggest supporter.
